So like he said then, very recently. Agriculture is ~9000 years, homo sapiens at least a million.
9000 years is like 400 generations. Russian Scientists turned wild foxes into domestic pets in only 20 generations. The problem with evolutionary biology is that fixating on pre-civilized man ignores how fast evolution can go.
Or hunter-gatherers, before there was much farming going on?
In the long view, farming is a pretty recent invention.
