Why don't you have hunting yet at 400 AD?

If every civ knows a tech, you get a multiplier bonus when you research it while new techs get no bonus. The overflow carries over to the next tech you research, so if you really need a tech, you can put 500 beakers into hunting and take a nice chunk out of the next tech. So if you don't need hunting/archery, you can save it as a tech multiplier for later.
Also, if you don't trade for it you can get another tech before You Are Too Advanced for Us. Also it's a waste of time early if you don't have ivory/furs.

Another possible answer is that hunting isn't particularly necessary if the enemy doesn't have horses and you don't have camp resources.

I've already took hunting from the Internet a lot of times
If you don't have camp resourses and no need for archery units and of spears/pikes... had forgotten that) , there is really no reason to get the tech...In isolated starts, I often don't touch horseback riding until post astronomy, when I start my overseas campaign, if then.
Unfortunately you get trade offers every turn.....horseback riding for advanced flight, while my transports loaded with tanks are sitting off your coast, yeah...right.

Avoiding hunting w/o camps is very typical for stocking up on HR garrisons.
