Why Humans Are Not Evolved for Modern Life | Stone-Age Brains, City-World Problems

Описание: This is the full story of why our Stone Age bodies and brains struggle in a modern world. For 300, 000 years, Homo sapiens lived as foragers in small tribes - shaped by firelight, fear of predators, scarcity, and cooperation. But in only the last few thousand years, we built farming, cities, and skyscrapers… and our biology never had time to catch up.

🕯️ The story of humanity… told softly.
