Aspects of the lives of Paleolithic Hunter-Gathers and Neolithic settled farmers

I wont disagree with the statement that settled farming life was better than that lived by hunter-gatherers. However, I cant neglect the fact that Paleolithic Hunter-Gatherer life could be considered easier than that of very early, settled Neolithic farmers. This is due to following aspects.

A wide range of plant food , fish, mammals were available to hunter- gatherers. This was not available to the settled farmers.

The punishment shall be perused as much as another serious theft in case of any interference.

Geographical features greatly affect early civilizations. The daily task ithe live of many civilizations are determined from the geographic features of land. Even today the impact of geography on the live and work of the people is worth mentioning. The populations living at the height of Minoan Civilization on Crete vs. Classical Age Athens are greatly impacted by the geography.
