I mean is this not most of human existence through history though? A very small part of the world has the luxury of enjoying their job.

I think one could make the case that the human life lived during pre-agriculture was one which matched the evolution of our biological organism.

So this is kind of a pedantic point, but 95% of our history is us doing things exactly as we evolved to do. I don't doubt either that hunting must have been a very engaging activity, especially when done as a clan or tribe.

That's not a good thing. It means we're failing to progress as a species. If we keep repeating history (with now, unfettered access to it), we're devolving, not evolving.

I don't know if someone is able to "enjoy" their work in general that is on top of a pyramide of people who probably don't enjoy their job.
