What Were We Doing?

Tom Allen, host of CBC's Music & Company, just remarked to the effect of:

Man has been farming for 7,000 years. Life began three and a half billion years ago. What the heck was he doing all those years before he started farming? We don't know.

Perhaps. But it sure looks like it took a couple of billion years for us to get stupid enough to belive we had to work for a living.
