Scientists CANNOT Explain Why Humans STOPPED Evolving 200,000 Years Ago | HISTORY FOR SLEEP

For six million years, human evolution was relentless—brain size increased, bodies transformed, new species emerged continuously. Then 200,000 years ago, when anatomically modern Homo sapiens appeared in East Africa, evolution mysteriously paused.

Your DNA is virtually identical to humans who lived 200,000 years ago. Eight thousand generations have passed, yet almost nothing changed. While dogs evolved from wolves in just 15,000 years and other species continued transforming, we stopped. Scientists cannot explain this unprecedented evolutionary stasis.

This deep investigation explores the genetic evidence, fossil record, and competing theories attempting to explain humanity's mysterious evolutionary pause—from catastrophic population bottlenecks that reduced us to just 1,280 breeding individuals, to the rise of cultural evolution replacing biological change.

🧬 KEY TOPICS COVERED:
The 200,000-year fossil evidence showing zero anatomical change
Why mutations continued but selection pressure mysteriously weakened
The catastrophic bottleneck 900,000 years ago that killed 99.9% of our ancestors
How cultural evolution created a "buffer" against biological evolution
Recent exceptions: lactase persistence, Tibetan altitude adaptation, brain shrinkage
The 130,000-year gap between anatomical and behavioral modernity
Why Neanderthals kept evolving while we didn't
The human singularity: when culture replaced biology
