Right. And then there's the fact that agriculture is a trap in that once you adopt it you can never go back and anyone nearby who doesn't adopt it as well will eventually be outcompeted and disappear as a people, or they will be driven into ever more remote and inhospitable environments. None of this requires anything like foresight or intention either.
