What Did Ancient Humans Do Without Money?

What did ancient humans do without money? No coins, no prices, no banks — for 300,000 years. And the system they used instead still runs your life today. The barter story you learned in school? Anthropologists never found a single society that ran on barter. In this animated history video: how the ice age economy actually worked — the mammoth problem, gossip as the first credit score, shell beads that traveled across continents, silent trade between strangers, and Kushim: the accountant who became the first name ever written down. The real history of money starts long before coins — and it never fully replaced the old system. Once Upon a Fact — history & curious facts, told like stories, drawn like doodles. New video every Saturday. #AncientHumans #History #Money
