What percentage of our history has been live as nomadic hunter/gatherers
if our mean homo sapiens, , history mean recorded , unrecorded time, need subtract years of "non-nomadic" life style total years of homo sapiens on planet (and multiple 100) answer.
best guess age of human race 150,000 200,000 years. agriculture relatively new, being 10,000 15,000 years old. make worst case , best case (range) follows:
(150,000 - 15,000 / 150,000) * 100 =
(135,000 / 150,000) * 100 = 90.0 percent
(200,000 - 10,000 / 200,000) * 100 =
(190,000 / 200,000) * 100 = 95.0 percent
