Do you think philosophy existed prior to civilisation?

And by that I mean before the discovery of agriculture. Do you think hunter gatherer man ever once wondered why he was here? I don't. I think philosophy is mostly just diagnosing and cataloguing the various ways in which civilisation destroys people's ability to feel content, at peace or whatever you want to call the opposite of the constant stress, depression and the variety of other physical and mental afflictions brought on by modern living. I think the worst thing that ever happened to us was the discovery of agriculture, the dystopia is here and now and it will only get worse and worse, faster and faster.

Best books on the subject?

Already read the stoics, Montaigne

Also, ataraxia general.
