Hard work is a recent invention. It arrived with the farming revolution a mere 10-12k years ago.
Before that, humans as foragers are believed to have worked about 20hrs per week, if they so chose.

Get a fucking grip. Hunter gatherers lived in shitty conditions with unbelievably poor material wealth, and had no protections against disease, injury, starvation, attack by animals, attack by other humans, old age, death in childbirth, etc etc. Average lifespan was 20.
Hard work came with farming. Before farming people worked very few hours.
