The answer of course includes "not according to the standards of the time".

Until the arrival of mechanization, the way things were done was the natural way to do so.

The arrival of appliances in the home similarly were a real advance on what had been natural.

So by today's standards, early Europeans life was hard, but by that very cause, the "survival of the fittest" would have had more effect than today. Or perhaps we should say the "failure of the least fit".

Undoubtedly, the arrival of mechanization has had the biggest effect - even an iron hoe makes primitive cultivation much easier.
