What Ancient Humans Actually Ate Before Sugar Existed

Tonight you'll probably eat something sweet without even thinking about it. But for almost the entire history of your species, that moment never happened. The real answer to what your ancestors ate is far stranger than the campfire myth of a caveman gnawing on mammoth meat. In this video, you'll discover why roots and tubers, not big game, may have been the most reliable food source for early humans, how cooking food may have unlocked the extra calories needed to grow a bigger brain, and why your modern cravings for sugar are really ancient survival circuitry running in a world it was never built for. You'll see what ancient teeth reveal about real prehistoric diets, and why feast-and-famine cycles shaped the way your body stores fat today.
