For most of human history, our way of life was nomadic, living as hunter-gatherers. Our ancestors hunted animals and gathered wild plants, mainly because they had not learned how to grow their own food yet through farming and agriculture. But around 12,000 years ago, the environment shifted, the ice age ended, and certain resources became … Read more

Around 10,000 years ago, hunter-gatherers had already started the transition to early farming. However, for most of human history, this was not the norm. Instead of growing food themselves, our ancestors scavenged, foraged, hunted, and gathered the resources they needed. But with farming, people began to settle in one place, making permanent homes instead of … Read more

For most of human history, our ancestors did not plant crops and take care of livestock. Instead, they scavenged, hunted, foraged, and gathered edible resources for millions of years. However, around 12,000 years ago, humans around the world began to shift to another lifestyle, one that would eventually lay down the foundation for modern civilization. … Read more

For approximately 2 million years, and the vast majority of human history, humans were hunter-gatherers. This means that rather than growing their food using farming and domestication techniques, they gathered edible plants and hunted meat from animals in the wild. However, about 12,000 to 10,000 years ago, something changed. The modern human species, Homo sapiens, … Read more

The modern human species, Homo sapiens, was not the only human alive around 50,000 years ago. Another human species that existed back then was the Denisovans. They are believed to have lived in Asia and Oceania, from 200,000 to 40,000 years ago. But, before they disappeared, scientists discovered that they may have met with Homo … Read more

Humans are one of the smartest creatures in the animal kingdom. We have become a truly intelligent species that dominates and rules the planet. We could shape our world to fit around us, instead of the other way around. However, it wasn’t always like this. 7 to 6 million years ago, our lineage was only … Read more

Several million years ago, there was evidence recorded that shows humans were not yet apex predators. They were vulnerable to bigger, stronger, and faster predators. It is also hard for them to hunt animals on their own, and they often rely on scavenging resources from other species’ hunt carcasses. Some of the earliest species of … Read more

Europe was once home to many hominins, but something happened around 1.1 million years ago. Suddenly, fossils and archaeological records disappeared, and since that time, it has been believed that there have been no human species for nearly 200,000 years, or at least no established population was present. Scientists predict that there was an extreme … Read more

The modern human species, Homo sapiens, originated in Africa and existed with many other hominins. One of these is Homo naledi, which was believed to have a small brain that is roughly the size of a chimpanzee, or older hominins like Australopithecus. However, what makes them even more fascinating is that they possess a mix … Read more

Most of the hominin fossils were found in Africa, which is also why it was labelled to be the likely origin of the homo genus species. However, humans did not stay on this continent. There were times when they were forced to migrate to other places, like Europe and Asia, in order to survive and … Read more
