What Did Ancient Humans Actually Eat Every Day?

Tonight you'll open a fridge, scan three shelves, and eat without thinking twice. But the real answer to what humans are built to eat is far stranger than anything on those shelves. In this video, you'll discover what your ancestors actually ate every day for hundreds of thousands of years — and why there was never just one answer. You'll learn why meat was rarer than you think, why insects were a daily staple in some parts of the world, and how a two-million-year-old craving for sugar is quietly running your brain every time you walk into a convenience store. Backed by real research from anthropologist Richard Lee, nutrition researcher Loren Cordain, and Harvard primatologist Richard Wrangham, this is the science behind why your body still doesn't know the hunt is over.
