diagnosis
Jiang lists three costs of farming: harder work and population pressure, poorer nutrition than hunter-gatherers, and higher disease exposure from dense, dirty settlement with animals and waste.
model
Jiang argues that climate change has repeatedly produced migration, war, disease, and upheaval throughout human history, so the current crisis should be understood as another version of a recurring pattern rather than as a totally novel event.
