Description

Think ancient humans spent 24/7 fighting off predators and starving? Not even close. Before the 9-to-5 schedule was invented, early human life looked completely different—and the truth breaks the Hollywood movie version you have in your head. In this video, we dive into what hunter-gatherers actually did all day. We look at the data behind the "original affluent society," uncover the archaeological evidence about ancient gender roles (yes, female hunters existed), and explain how the invention of farming gave us the one thing humanity has complained about ever since: a boss. If you are tired of the modern work grind, you need to see how our species spent 99% of its history. Work-life balance isn't human nature; it's a completely new invention.
