Yes and imagine how you could live if getting a fish meant just waking over to a pool and grabbing one. Obviously we can do that now by going to a store and handing over cash, but the convenience was surprisingly not that massively different when ecosystems were healthier and you didn't have to go get that cash by working an hour or two somewhere first.
Not that it's all perfect or is/was monolithic. Many fishing cultures had slaves and such. Humans have organized themselves in many different ways. But there are also ways in which are modern lifestyles and technologies don't represent a massive improvement in our lives. Mostly due to capitalism, of course, which claws back our gains in different ways. If we organized ourselves around human need we could all be living qualitatively better lives.
