[WS:] You fail to mention that they survived for those millenia when there was no alternative to hunting and gathering, and started vanishing as soon as alternatives became available. So if those who knew hunting and gathering first hand abandoned it as soon as alternatives became available - perhaps this life style was not that great as Western intellectuals imagine it to be.
