'They had time for entertainment (especially during hunter-gatherer times)'
Thanks for pointing this out. Even the Joe Rogan quote shows that most people think daily survival for hunter gatherers was brutal. 'Nasty, brutish, and short' is the usual description of their lives.
Whereas some anthropologists have written that hunter-gatherers worked the equivalent of a part-time job, while agriculturalists slaved away working full-time hours or more, in addition to suffering much worse health.
Another aspect: until fairly recently, most people were not subject to centralized education; they spoke a great multitude of dialects with limited mutual intelligibility. This means most folklore was being constantly translated. And you can lose and find lots in translation.
