Thomas Paine gave him a good kicking, too. Hobbes wasn't even talking about human life in previous times, he was talking about what life would be like without a functioning society (best ruled by a king or dictator, in his view). Somehow it's been widely misquoted as a comment on previous history. Up there with myths like our medieval ancestors not washing and knights in armour not being able to get back up again if they fell over.
