Скачать или смотреть Would a Caveman Diet Actually Work?

Ever wondered what prehistoric humans really ate beyond the cliché of gnawing on raw meat? In this video, we dive into the hidden world of ancient cuisine and reveal how our ancestors were not just hunters trying to survive, but skilled cooks, careful planners, and surprisingly picky eaters. From roasted tubers to early “bread,” their meals were far more complex than most people imagine.

We follow the trail of evidence left behind in teeth, bones, tools, and hearths to uncover these lost menus. Microscopic scratches on enamel, fossilized plaque packed with plant remains, chemical signatures preserved in bone, and stone tools smeared with ancient fats and starches all come together to tell a remarkable story: prehistoric humans knew their environments deeply, cooked creatively, preserved food for the future, and built communities around shared meals. This isn’t just the story of what they ate—it’s the story of how food helped shape our bodies, brains, and cultures.
