@unfreeradical sorry, I can’t cite any sources. I read around this subject the first time I saw this meme, because I was curious as the people who are usually cited as doing less total work than us are hunter-gatherers.

Here are a couple of pages about types of peasant, work, etc.

If you’re saying this because you disagree and have sources of your own to recommend, please do as I’m always open to learning more.
