lucretius knew there was a copper age before the iron age, and that humans were hunter-gathers before agriculture.

He got a lot of things wrong too (he thought the period of hunter gatherer tribes was preceded by a period of solitary humans iirc--nope!). Still it's way better than, for example, the narrative in genesis.
