Re: Do We Work Too Hard?

This is true, but I heard that pre-civilisation humans only had to work about a third of the time we do to survive.

And they survived about 1/3 of the time we do. And they were mostly uncomfortable.

We are wage slaves and capitalism does 'force' a lot of people into undesirable amounts of work in order to conform to socially acceptable norms.

No, it doesn't. Those who do the most valuable work get rewarded.

On the first point you are right they lived about 1/3rd of the time we do, and they were most likely uncomfortable.
Your second point is utter nonsense, bin-men and cleaners get paid next to nothing, are you suggesting that work is not important, lets have the cities infested with rats and disease rampant then we'll see what work is important. As Peter666 pointed out professional athletes work is much less important and more highly paid than most.
