Up until the post-WWII era desk jobs were pretty rare. You'd be in a factory or a farm, or something else not-desk-related.
Anecdata: I did a working holiday in Australia and worked on a farm. No issues with ADHD or other focuses -- exercise, sunlight, no caffeine, and not-desk-related work kept me on task. I notice a big difference even now with carbs and sleep patterns, and how they effect my focus.
Genetically we're still cavemen, and are equipped to always be swatting mosquitoes and looking out for bears, not sitting still and thinking through abstract bit-shifting.
