Answer:

Human beings lived as hunter-gatherers for a very, very long time.  Hundreds of thousands of years or more (depending on when you consider the modern species emerged).  It's only in the last six to twelve thousand years (depending on who's timelines you agree with) that anything different has happened.

So, it's reasonable to conclude that, had farming never developed, the world would still be relatively sparsely populated by human tribes living off the land the way our ancestors did for thousands of generations.  We'd likely continue living that way until and unless some sequence of natural disasters or environmental changes wiped us out.  We would almost certainly have never developed writing systems, civic culture, or any kind of scientific, artistic or philosophical knowledge beyond what what can be sustained as tribal tradition (which is not inconsiderable, but far less than a literate society can maintain).  But we would live in pretty egalitarian societies and cause very little evironmental impact.  So, there's that.
