What would be the alternative though?
The human race has a few brilliant minds but as a whole, we're pretty stupid. Err, I mean primitive... still.
If we hadn't discovered agriculture, we'd have just done something equally or more stupid to screw us up even more. I mean, imagine we just continued down the hunting path and only ever ate meat. Eventually 1) the meat would run out as our population grew and 2) we'd continue to be savage hunters forever with sharp teeth, very little intelligence and a penchant for violence.
