Not surprising.
Agricultural people reproduce
at far higher rates than hunter-gatherers.
Much higher than necessary to make up for 
their shorter life-spans due to auto-immune disorders.
 
After all,
300 generations 
( 10,000 years in humans, 20 years in white mice)
 is not enough to breed a mouse 
that can tolerate a food not edible 
to any other rodent.
 
Cause really,
regardless of whether we're
Cree or Aztec,
Iraqi or Sami,
we're all Primates.
