Afaik we didn't even have what could be considered work until agriculture.
That doesn't mean it is optimal. I know that when I was working at 80% I was as productive as at 100%.
I eventually gave up when I realize that my colleagues were paid 20% more only to procrastinate that additional time at the workplace.
