i'd go further and say humans do not exist without technology. From fire to stone tools the relationship between human mind and technology as object and social construct is what humans are to the same degree as termites are their mounds.
I think you are woefully ill informed in how even in the most abundant ecosystem humans use technology. Look up the fish traps in the pacific north west of the us. Or the use of fire to flush game in paleolithic time. Just because it's not a shiny iphone does not mean that ecological management is not a sophisticated technology that has been developed concurrently with human evolution.
