The Worst Mistake In The History Of The Human Race Discussion

I’m working on a history discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

The discovery of agriculture transformed human societies profoundly. Pulitzer Prize-winning scientist Jared Diamond called the discovery of agriculture “the worst mistake in the history of the human race.” Assess the validity of this claim. Do you agree or disagree? What are Diamond’s reasons for making such a claim? What was gained and what was lost by this agricultural transition that took place between twelve thousand and five thousand years ago? Explain in detail using specific examples.
