The data you've presented just don't allow us to make those claims, and fall apart at the gentlest interrogation:
- much doesn't relate to hunter-gatherers at all
- some is a tiny sample size (in the only case I dug into, n<=1!)
- the bulk of it involves peoples under pressure from encroachment (and worse)
- by its nature it's woefully incomplete, some of it cherry-picked, and ignores the majority of hunter-gatherer peoples
It's a fascinating and important question, though.
