What Happened Before History? Human Origins

Humans. We have been around for a while now. When we think about our past we think about ancient civilizations, the pyramids, stuff like that. But this is only a tiny, tiny part of our history.

I can imagine hunter gatherers thinking "kids these days rely to much on farming"

[JCstock]

"Today we live in the most advanced civilization humans have ever known" Funny how all generations could have said that at one point.

[TheNin-Jedi]

Ever find yourself looking at a modern structure (like a factory for example) and just thought: My god. The ingenuity it took. The fact that people could make something like that is amazing.

[chriskevini]

Incredible to think that Science was only formalized 20 generations ago

*"They lived a rich social lives in their tribes."*

Im watching this alone at midnight.

[Farrajenius]

best part of the video

" maybe its not worth being upset about all those little things"

[Nikkiflausch]

I love that note that life demanded more of early humans not just physically, but also mentally in many ways. It‘s easy for current humans (and I suppose that‘s always been the case) to be arrogant about historical humans‘ „intelligence“, and they‘re always confusing raw education with the ability to remember and abstractise the information that is available to you.

I love this channel. Thank you so much. Your hard work shows and you've made things easier and interesting to learn for my curious children. Trying to explain things myself was difficult and you've made complex topics fun and engaging.

“they had a rich social life in their tribe”

wow why they gotta flex on me

[XxmrsupermanxX]

This really puts in perspective how short the "modern human" experience really has been. Kind of overwhelming to think about. Great video👍🏻

[julianasandoval]

As a teacher struggling in High Scholl, this video is simply amazing and beautifully made and explained. From the animation, to the pacing and the language. Thank you very much for yout work.

[sarahconnor]

Idk sometimes I just look at the moon or a skyscraper or a cell phone and I'm like "I can't believe people have been there and done that." Idk just cool to think about how different our lifestyle is compared to the high majority of humans who have lived.

"Maybe it is not worth being upset about all those little things" - Thank you for make my day

[balthasarpelt]

Keep up the good work! Your history videos are amazing!!

[nathanplaks]

I love your videos Kurzgesagt. Thank you for what you and your team provide. I'm sure that most people don't appreciate the hard work and details that go into making these videos. Your videos teach me so much, while also being so entertaining at the same time. You, and your team, make science fun. Thank you for all that you do. This video is one of my favorite videos on your channel.

[Papaniko]

That quote. "I'm out" changed the world incredibly

[Etroif]

These videos always expand my feeling of thankfulness and understanding how lucky I am to live in these modern times, I love it!

The information that we learnt in 10 minutes, may be our ancestors would spend years and years to get it.
