What Did Ancient Humans Do For Pleasure? (You Still Do) #viral

In this 2-minute stickman explainer, we look at the evidence: • A 40,000-year-old bone flute carved from a griffon vulture's wing bone, found at Hohle Fels cave in Germany • Paintings of more than 400 animals on the walls of Chauvet cave in France, made around 36,000 years ago • Traces of beer-like brewing at Raqefet Cave in Israel, dating to about 13,000 years ago • Anthropologist Polly Wiessner's research on the Ju/'hoansi people, who told stories in 81% of their conversations around the fire at night, compared with 34% in daylight Why did ancient humans make music, create art, dance, play with strange objects, care for animals, and gather together simply for pleasure? Deep inside Ice Age caves, archaeologists have discovered evidence that challenges the image of prehistoric humans as people who only struggled to survive. From a 35,000-year-old vulture-bone flute to mysterious optical toys, cave paintings, possible dancing footprints, emotional bonds with dogs, and early evidence of feasting and fermented drinks, ancient humans were finding ways to enjoy life thousands of years ago. In this documentary, we explore how pleasure became part of human life long before modern entertainment existed. #AncientHumans #PrehistoricHumans #AncientHistory #HumanEvolution #Prehistory #StoneAge #AncientLife #HistoryFacts #HumanHistory #Archaeology #AncientEntertainment #history #ancienthumans #stoneage #prehistory #historyexplained 3.
