And penicillin. I'll gladly take the microplastics and credit scores if that's the price to pay.
Modern dental care isn't half bad either
Fun fact, the take up of agriculture actually made people's oral getting significantly worse than that of hunter/gatherers.
My oral is on point, pal.
Getting, not giving
Bruh, I’m eating pussy while I’m typing this reply.
Idk I find it pretty barbaric we still use drills to cut out issues then stick metal or clay to it. Tooth regrowth is on the horizon though!
Unless you are American

Ironically we don't see much evidence of infectious disease in hunter gatherers. Now of course this only talks about those diseases we see evidence of in bones, but until we started keeping livestock and living in large close groups there doesn't seem to have been much.
Obviously there still was disease. You're never going to be able to find evidence of an infected wound or pneumonia in the skeletal remains, but the big killers like smallpox, measels, leprosy, etc. don't develop until later.
Of course for those humans in environments that supported mosquitos malaria was still a huge problem.
