In this film, we explore the deep history of the "fire-trance," how the campfire literally birthed human culture, and the unsettling truth about how modern tech companies hijacked this exact survival setting to turn smartphones into digital campfires—actively breaking our biology in the process. In this video, we cover: The evolutionary biology of the "Fire-Trance" How fire created a 30-foot dome of safety from apex predators Anthropologist Polly Wiessner’s discovery of "Night Talk" How Silicon Valley hijacked a million-year-old defense program The biological impact of modern blue-light "fires" #Psychology #Evolution #HumanHistory #BehavioralScience #Technology #EvolutionaryMismatch #PsychologyFact #HumanBehavior #ScreenAddiction #ScreenTime #AncientHistory #BiologyDocumentary
