The Day Humans Almost Disappeared Forever — 930,000 Years Ago


Around 930,000 years ago, humanity came closer to extinction than at any other time in history. Genetic evidence reveals that the global human population collapsed by nearly 99%, leaving as few as 1,280 surviving individuals to carry our species forward.

In this video, we explore the scientific discoveries behind this ancient human bottleneck, including cutting-edge DNA analysis, gaps in the fossil record, and dramatic climate changes during the mid-Pleistocene. We examine what caused this near-extinction event, why many early human species disappeared, and how a small group of survivors—possibly early Homo heidelbergensis—managed to endure.

This is the hidden chapter of human history written in our DNA, showing just how fragile our existence truly was—and how close we came to disappearing forever.
