We Spend Thousands Raising Our Kids — Ancient Parents Did It for Free and Raised Better Humans

For 300,000 years, humans raised children with no books, no experts, no schedules. The kids built civilizations. Ours can't handle boredom. What did ancient parents know that we've completely forgotten? In this video we explore what anthropology, evolutionary biology, and decades of research actually say about how children develop — and why the most expensive, most anxious childhood in human history might be producing worse results than a cave mom with zero parenting books. We cover: → Why hunter-gatherer babies were held 90% of the day → The real reason free play collapsed — and what it's doing to kids → Why the school classroom was designed for factories, not children → What "WEIRD parenting" is and why 99% of humans would find it bizarre → The three things every child actually needs (it's not what you think) ────────────────────────────── #AncientHumans #Parenting #HumanHistory #Prehistoric #Psychology
