Contrary to popular belief, mankind didn't begin life as hunter/gatherers but as gardeners, zookeepers, a zoologist, and farmers.
The LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it.
Genesis 2:15 (Gardeners)
Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
So God created man in His own image,
in the image of God He created him;
male and female He created them.
And God blessed them.
Genesis 1:26-28 (Zookeepers)
Now out of the ground the LORD God had formed every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. And whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name. The man gave names to all livestock and to the birds of the heavens and to every beast of the field.
Genesis 2:19-20 (Zoologist - taxonomy)
...Therefore, the LORD God sent him out from the garden of Eden to work the ground from which he was taken.
Genesis 3:23 (Farmers)
