> lived in that way for thousands of years and reached a state of equilibrium with nature
Nature is not static. A small example would be Darwin's Finches shifting prevalence of break size from year to year. Or multi-year predator-prey boom and bust cycles. Or how bacteria learned to eat nylon in less than a century.
Cultures are not static. For example the Inca and Aztec empires apparently only date back to the 12th and 13th centuries.
