From the Government of Canada. Welcome to the Urbania. Bark! Happy Good Day everyone! This is Charles Beauchene, your favorite imitation of a historian by a saltine bank. And welcome to another episode quite special of the worst moments in history. The balado... usually I manage to squeeze the worst of the worst of the past in an hour, but I have the misfortune to announce that it won't happen because we're in another of these titanic trilogy of episodes out of the series. So three episodes, I said three for those who, since the beginning,

just pretend to know what a trilogy is, in short, three episodes in which we won't even talk about history. Huh? Well, let's not get carried away, it's a podcast about history, not history. We're not sure our taxes are estimated. We won't even talk about history... properly. Okay! Okay! Okay! Everyone, okay!

There's a nuance, everyone! There's a nuance! We'll maybe talk about history, after all. We who jumped to conclusions too quickly. Indeed, if someone wanted to be sharp, they could describe history with a big H, as the story of human accomplishments from the moment someone decided to take it all into account. But if I told you that there was a world before that. A antediluvian period that can only be guessed because the writing itself was not invented. I'm talking about the prehistory. Oh, okay! Okay, okay, okay, nice! It's going to be nice in the end!

Hmm... I don't have the prehistory. In fact, after two other special edition trilogies on the fall of the Roman Empire and the French Revolution, two subjects on which there is objectively too much information that is becoming completely goatish, this time you see I thought we could do the opposite, that is to say, simplify life by talking about a subject on which there is so little information that it is even more complicated. And the only price to pay was not to simplify life. The thing with the prehistory is that it's excessively blurry, and that we have no direct trace of the point of view of people who lived in a period where nothing was invented. So it's the beginning of everything, but from nothing.

A bit like the script of the episode. Indeed, despite a chaotic start to a wild and dangerous era, where the first men crawl in caves full of monsters, illuminated by the reassuring glow of a fire that doesn't necessarily exist yet, even a world where survival depends on a trial and error with the same statistics as a tic-tac-toe game, we will eventually succeed in going back to second gear and develop plenty of genius tools, whose abilities to help us will mainly depend on the material in vogue of the moment. Moment being a more relative term, because it will decline in three periods that will of course last thousands of years.

The age of stone, the age of bronze and the age of iron. And surprisingly, that's what will lay the foundations of the story, where I should normally start the walk, but not there. Let's go straight to the very beginning of humanity, where the cavemen await us. More precisely, the Stone Age, where, as in the Fire Stones, everything is made of stone, with perhaps a little less bide and grime than the dinosaur songs we were told. Anyway, is anyone still alive to remember the Fire Stones? So, generic and... Yabadabadou, I guess.

The Man of the World It's certain that with a theme like prehistory, someone as obsessed and impulsive as I am could have a good desire to start from the beginning to retrace the Big Bang, the creation of the world, and talk about dinosaurs. But I won't do that. My mandate is to talk about men.

And therefore, women! But I won't do that. My mandate is to talk about men. And therefore, MEN! In what we also call... Humanity, you know? Or sorry for those who hoped for dark details of velociraptors about their damn big claws, but that won't be it. You want a dark detail of dinosaurs? They died 65 million years too early for a human to shave their hair.

But it would have been... fucked up. Faster Rex! Faster! Hang on! So, nothing much, I remind you. Aster, get your manuals out. Prehistoric context... So, nothing much, I remind you. Aster, get your manuals out. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh uhhhhh, we often tend to believe that at some point,

monkeys just decided to walk on two feet, then have hair and eventually build skateparks, but that would be a shortcut. The monkey and the man are not two steps from the same species, but rather distant cousins who would have a common ancestor who, if we rely on the common point that unites our two species, was an animal that liked to masturbate a lot. What that means is that we believe that the monkey and the human would have dissociated somewhere in the chain of evolution,

and obviously no one was there. Dear newspaper, today I saw a determined primate split in two to become a chimpanzee and a caveman with a machete. No one should have seen such a thing. It's on the African continent between 9 and 7 million years ago... Oh yeah, that's true, we're before Jesus Christ so we're counting backwards. Okay, let's go! What will the chimpanzees and bonobos separate from? The hominines?

À une époque où on avait encore pas mal toute l'air d'acteurs maquillés dans la planète des singes version originale des années 60, et peut-être même un petit peu comme ceux de la planète des singes de Tim Burton des années 2000, où Elena Bonham Carter est maquillée en singe pour des motifs possiblement sexuels. Et je comprendrais, à l'adolescent je trouvais que ça donnait étrangement un... somme toute sexy singe. in monkey for possibly sexual reasons. And I would understand. As a teenager, I thought it was strangely a somewhat sexy monkey. In short, at this point, you may have noticed a certain imprecision in terms of date. It will not improve for the simple reason

that prehistory happens before written history and that even if someone had a alphabet to communicate what is happening, nobody knew what date we were or what was a date. So I will try to situate you when I can, but the truth is that it's complicated and we don't care. Eventually, the australopithec genre begins to pop around 4.2 million years, once again very chimpanzee, but a 2.0 version that knows important changes in the skull, the spine and legs, which which allow him to walk on two legs permanently.

Why? We don't know, but the hypotheses go in all directions, from energy conservation, because it's less rock-like on two legs, to sexual presentation, nothing better than being a biped to optimally flash genital organs, the fact that we are less exposed to the sun vertically, strange, but I guess yes, by going through the one where it was to better spot the savanna predators by always looking above the tall grass. Oh, yeah, no, that's it, there's a smilodon there. There's a chance I saw him.

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHFwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfwfw Interesting details... The evolution of what will eventually give human race is not a linear staircase where the more you go up, the less people are hairy. It's more a progressive evolution with lots of ramifications, which means that several types of humans are entwined at the same time, like the first homo species, the Homo habilis, which was, according to all semblance, contemporary to some Australopithecus, but Neuweys were still all a bit of the same. We lost, Greek! Grock is right. Let's ask the way, group of Australopithecus over there. Hey! Excuse me, we're looking for a cave! No, Greek, Australopithecus is a thief! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Grock is a boomer, okay?

In short, over time, about twenty species of the homo species will appear, evolve and begin to resemble modern humans. Or at least, a kind of... The comedian Ron Perlman. You'll see on the internet, in the movie The War of Fire, he plays a caveman, and I always found that he's the less-makeup one. Humans now have bigger skulls, which allow them to better understand their environment, which will begin to transform, among other things,

by developing more and more sophisticated tools. But don't expect too sophisticated things, we hear that it's mostly ingenious, broken rocks. Thus giving rise to the Stone Age. Bang! Title of the episode. Charles Auchin, you still have the shit. The Stone Age is divided into three distinct periods. The Paleolithic, which means the Stone Age is divided into three distinct periods. Paleolithic, which means the Stone Age, Mesolithic, which means the Stone Age of the Middle, and Neolithic, which means the New Stone Age.

But don't expect anything too new either. Paleolithic is the longest period of the three and begins 3.3 million years ago! Sorry, I always wanted to do that. Interesting details! The use of stone tools is something unique to us humans. While several animals like the loutre, the vautours and the monkeys are actually also able to use rocks to, for example,

smash shells, bones or skulls to eat what's in them. Humans will however be the only ones to modify the said rock to make it more efficient depending on the situation. Me hungry, Grig! Me too, Groc! You look in this direction now, and don't turn back. Dinner will be served soon. Wow! Grick covered in coconut milk while Grock was returning. Nice surprise! Cocoa while Grock was returning. Surprise, Belle! In fact, Greik was preparing coconut milk to cook Grock's meat.

Greik told Grock not to return! Detail, Dark! I seem to be going for the gag, but some scientists found quite solid evidence that cannibalism was a relatively widespread practice, including human teeth marks on human bones, as well as skulls transformed into goblets to drink. Cheers, as they say! The first rock tools are therefore relatively simple.

It's often just a big rock with one or several pieces of chip, which gives a cutting edge, a practice to cut carcasses, cut wood stabbing someone, as they say in the street. A tool that surprisingly quickly appears is the wool, A-L-E-A-C-N, not the one that stinks, a kind of big needle that is used to pierce animal skins to allow the production of large historical poncho pieces that are hardly more complex than those that can be bought today in service stations. Not so much for questions of modesty, as to give yourself a chance against the intempest, let them a couple of years of innocence

where people still have the luxury of putting themselves naked in public, if you will. In short, the wool was, so to speak, the key that opens the door to human fashion. A kind of wool that, if you see where I'm going to come to, because to be honest, I'm not sure myself. Over time, stone tools continue to refine. We eventually start working on both sides of the stone with more precision, which allows us to make what is called actually bifaces, that is to say, a rock that you hold

directly in your hand, ideal to fight predators. Hey, uh, this one, do you remember me? I have a double-face now! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH hhhaa hsks ptpk why at the beginning, humans were more hunters a hunter than a hunter at first. We ate roots, nuts, honey, bird's eggs and meat, not bad only when we were lucky enough to fall on an animal carcass, which was previously killed by another monster. When all you have to defend yourself is a broken Silex, I suggest you let nature get a little bit of it's own.

Interesting details! It doesn't seem like much, but the idea of attaching a pointy rock to a stick is probably one of the greatest advances humanity has ever made. Indeed, a handle allows you to maintain a comfortable distance, while also accumulating the force of a strike, which will be very practical when it comes time to fuck monsters. Because in Paleolithic, humans were far from being at the top of the food chain, everything is bigger and more dangerous than him, the terrain is not favorable for him with his small feet and no shoes, the weather wants to kill him, there has never been so much moving sand and mud sludge in which everyone dies screaming. Besides, when we talk about Paleolithic,

we are specifically referring to the period when humans used used stone tools. But the Earth was also living its own period, Pleistocene, which sounds exactly like what a child trying to say the word plasticine, when the mouth is full of plasticine. Pleistocene is a geological period that has nothing to do with rocks. According to Wikipedia, it's a subdivision of a period on the geological scale based on geochronology. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, du pot. The children, the much lower seas, but above all the disappearance of forests and the appearance of huge open spaces with no trees, like the steppes in Mammoth, for example, the African savannas and the large North American prairies. Hostile environments that will shape life in an even more hostile way

in what is called the megaphone. The Megaphone is basically a giant and over the top version of animals that we know today as they were in prehistoric times. The most popular example would be the wool mammoth, an elephant-like kind of thing that was caught in Guy Drouleau's lap. You will therefore understand that the whole fauna was a bit in SRR mode. This means that we could frequently observe abominations, such as terrestrial-looking You will understand that the whole fauna was in the SRR fashion. This means that we could frequently observe abominations, like the terrestrial perches of the 20 feet high, or the terrestrial, because the trees

had the decency to stay on the scale. A whole panoply of rhinoceros ferns, including the megaloceros brontotherium, the one with a slingshot horn that was really a pair of hands of success. The megaloceros, a goat with such massive woods that it constantly The one with a slingshot horn that was really a pair of hands off the success. The Megaloceros, a goat with such massive woods that it constantly seems like you're about to fall on the side. Mastodontes, which are mammoths, but not mammoths, don't mix them up, they're just waiting to catch you. Giant beavers, giant camels. And worse than all giant aquariums of a millimeter long that you could see scratching your dead skin naked.

And that without forgetting the version of caves of all, like the bears of the caves, the lions of the caves and the hyenas of the caves, which of course actively hunted humans. Grock, I believe that this is the ideal cave to spend the night. Good night, Greeks! Uh-oh! Shit! Greeks wake up only if it's a cavern's akarion! Quiz question!

Where in the world do you think megafauna is the most unhealthy? In Australia, of course. Indeed, in the ocean continent, or Pleistocene, giant kangaroos with kind of flat faces that walked like humans, which is worse than anything. In fact, almost as much as what we call the Tilaco Leo or marsupial lion, a kind of opossum devil of Tasmania, 100 kilos with castor teeth, who had this charming habit of dropping trees on his prey. But of course.

Okay, take three. Humanity has spears now, which gives us a chance against everything that is in front of us. The only possible angle of death? Heaven! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaààààààààààààààààààààààààààààààààààààààààààààààààààààààààààààààààààààààààààààààààààààààààààààààààààààààààààààààààààààààààààààààààà is the word Homo erectus, which means the erected man, but in the sense of the man standing up for those who would try to use this phrase saying that everyone will understand the good deal. Homo erectus, therefore, appears to have two million years and would have quickly conquered the African continent and Eurasia, going as far as the eastern portion of what is considered today as China,

in addition to becoming a reason for primary school children to laugh in a history class. What is it? Is it the word erectus that makes you think it's an erection? No, it's what we see in your screenshots that you forgot to close your Achille Madison's tab the site that encourages infidelity. Oh shit!

We laugh, but you are heartless, sir! In the Paleolithic, humans are obviously nomads, moving in groups of 20 to 30 individuals. They go where nature can meet their needs, when they can sleep in caves. Sometimes... Interesting details! Yes, contrary to what we might think, cavemen spend much less time in caves than expected.

First of all, I don't know if you noticed, but it's rare. A cave? When was the last time you found a cave? Plus, a cave is super dangerous, it's dark, it's cold, there are always hyenas, lions and bears from the caves in there. In fact, generally, the first humans settled in good old caves tents and borders and went inside only to be caught during spiritual ceremonies. Come on, friends, let's gather together in the cave. I'm tired of picking up faster! You'll be delighted to learn that, according to several researchers, the first micro-societies were both peaceful and equal. It was almost never that we were going to pill another clan.

On the contrary, when a tribe met another one, which did not happen so often given the low population density in a world where everything is as rare as a cave, we tended to ally ourselves to form a larger group, sometimes up to 100 individuals. Which, for anyone who has already tried to keep a troupe of more than 3 people together in a foreign party is audacious. And what is the Paleolithic if it's not a kind of foreign party? But dangerous.

So a foreign party. Moreover, despite the size of some clans, there was not really a structured hierarchy, nor a difference between the roles of men and FAMES! Who had the same jobs and the same responsibilities, but don't get too attached to the equality of men and women, it's pretty much the last time this has happened. So Lomo Erectus would have been the first species to build camps and temporary structures to live, but he was also associated with another little thing without too many consequences, the discovery of fire. Interesting details... We have absolutely no idea how man discovered fire.

The most likely hypothesis is that at the beginning we were just taking it to places where it naturally manifested itself, like in a fire of rust. AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SH'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A'A or on a tree or sparkles. And I'm officially intrigued by the trial and error process that led to this. Grock, what are you doing with these two ducks? I'm trying to break the secret of the fire. Come on! Boom shakalaka! So, it's useless to tell you how much the game will change.

The fire. We can now cook the meat, make it easier to chew and less difficult to digest, keep the calories we would have spent on rocks to chew a super rock'n'roll steak on digestion, the fire, it scares the giant hyenas, it allows to survive in winter, which leads to a boom of population. And our life is so comfortable that we even allow ourselves to start doing something as useless as art. By the way, don't hesitate to subcribe me. Indeed, thanks to the fire, we will conquer the caves, and it is on their walls that we begin to see the first sketches of large, milk drawings of historical men made with ochre, a stone that makes red pigment when heated.

Drawings that often seem to tell hunting stories, thus becoming probably the first instance of someone who has thick and detailed butter. But since Groc says in Greek that mammoth was big as himself. Look, down the ladder! Oh, pass me the oak. Here, now Mammoth with moustache and kisses. Oh, fucker! And by the way, I know very well that Grick and Grock seem to have traveled from one time and from one continent to another. It's wanted, it's not as if I had a lot of famous prehistoric figures to feed the moulin. It would be just a matter of knowing if Greek and Groc are racist names.

So, even if you have time to do anything, the Palaiolithic could also be the theater of the beginnings of certain forms of religion. We have archaeological evidence, such as how our good old cousins, a bit of men, the Neanderthalians, had developed the practice of burying their dead. What the big base seems to say like that, but the inhumous action that was formerly a living being with objects that belonged to him, notes that we were holding a certain memory of the dead, which can be likened to a kind of life after death, which maybe people believed. One thing for sure, his first spirituality was, how to say... Spirituor of around the edges. Dark details. A ritual that was probably practiced was to tear the corpse apart,

that is, to remove all his skin and muscles to... help him in his transition to the afterlife? To be honest, it sounds like someone who tried to eat him. With all due respect for their culture. Some clues also let us believe that it was at this period that we started to worship animals or gods in the form of animals. Some researchers even propose that the man ofthal man wanted a cult of bears. Oh, the bear cult! How adorable! How does it work? We eat honey and have a big sleep?

And when we wake up, we pass from the toilet paper Charmin that doesn't bang into the hair of a big bear? Hmph! We can't wait to see how this reference will be handled in the afterlife. Another dark detail. According to the amount of bear bones discovered in certain Anderthalian camps, we think that one of the rituals associated with the bear cult consisted of capturing a bear from the caves and then stabbing it with a spear and venerating its big carcass that stinks. Say, people, all respect, of course. All this to say that the game at the Palais Olythique changes drastically when 200,000 or 300,000 years ago,

our direct ancestors, the HOMOSAPIANS, land straight out of Africa! As we said earlier, evolution is not linear. At its arrival on the great scene of life, Homo sapiens was not alone. There were many other dominant species living at the same time than him, Neanderthals, briefly speaking, Lomo Naledi with his little homa brain, Lomo Erectus, who was still there, the demisovians who shine because we know nothing about them, Lomo Florisiensis, who was very small with big feet, which made him a kind of hobbit.

Where I want to come from is that it was like he would say, quite tempting to... ... dig into hominins. You see what I mean. Interesting post-coital details. Indeed, we are evaluating today that depending on the regions, up to 4% of the modern genome would come from Neanderthals. And in certain regions, such like Asia and Oceania, we find DNA from these mysterious Soviet nests.

About which I'm only asking you to tell more, but no. And then, look at me, I don't really know what happened, but 40,000 years ago, the homo sapiens found itself alone. Alone, alone, alone. All other dominant species had disappeared. What happened? We know that the homo sapiens was the best to adapt to change. We also think that there were better infantile survival rates. Maybe it's the ice age that came to the likes of all the others. But it could also be that the homo sapiens just used his good old superior intellect

to cremate all the other species or assimilate them by reproducing with them. In a way, it makes sense. Let's say that I recognize myself well in it. Yeah, I know it's going to end like a conclusion at the end of the episode, but no! We still have two periods of the Stone Age ahead of us! Ha ha ha! So we got to Mesolithic. Mesolithic is above all a period of transition of about 10,000 years that we have difficulty to position exactly in time because it doesn't happen everywhere at the same time in the world and just to piss off, it doesn't necessarily correspond to the end of the Paleolithic.

Here is the prehistory! Because the Paleolithic ends roughly 12,000 years ago at the same time that Pleistocene and its shitty glaciers are no longer there. So, humanity is in a period marked by enormous climate change. Ooh. Yo, sir, is it proof that anxiety and actions against climate change are useless because they are inevitable? Neo-scepticism, yo! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no Nothing of this is unnatural. What would have happened is that during the millennia before the Mesolithic, the orientation of the Earth would have changed compared to the Sun,

and the planet would have started to warm up. Quite quickly. Like, it warms up faster than parents who have a party and no children for the first time in two years. No children! Woohoo! No children! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaa aaaaa aaaaa a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a I'm so sick! You see, the huge glacier covering the Northern Hemisphere is starting to recede. The continents are getting warmer, there's heavy rain, which means that most of the big plains are replaced by forests, marshes, lakes,

which will, as scientists would say, destroy its race to the megaphone. Indeed, the megaphone has a lot of difficulty surviving in its new denser ecosystems, which are zero adapted for gigantic mammals whose evolutionary strategy is essentially to be super fat. Added to this, the hunt by more and more efficient prehistoric men, well, it's not long that the megaphone is mega-disappeared. Dark sizes. Do you know how we kill a mammoth?

Indeed, hunting an elephant with broken rocks can seem like an intimidating business. But our good old cousins, a little bit of a wimp, the Nihandertalians had found something not worse at all, to scare the troops to create a bandage of big stupid mammoths that we will direct directly into a ravine. Ha ha ha ha ha ha! LOL! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

Oh! That's it! Mammoth fell down the cliff! Finally, we can eat! How do we get meat in Rava now? Interesting details inspired by a detail of a... Well, yes, I have the right!

The last mammoths would have survived on the island of Rangol in the north of Russia until the construction of the Great Pyramid of Cheops, about 4000 years ago. It's a bit annoying to think of mammoths and Egyptians as contemporaries, but what fascinates me is how a mammoth could have come across an island. Either they went swimming, and now nothing is funnier than the idea of a mammoth all wet, or they took advantage of the natural bridge of a bank, which proverbially never froze. For sure, the mammoth water. We missed that a little, friends. Where is it going to go?

So the Mesolithic, this new forest world which looks pretty much like the one we know today, allows the expansion of several new species like regular deer, regular birds, normcore rangers as ever, and of course, humans. Humans who are not angry to live in the warm shelter under trees in a world with 100% less big predators. Bibi has, as they say, been promised a

couple of food chain steps. Humans don't know yet, but this security and abundance will indeed change the course of history. First, it is less and less necessary to constantly move around to hunt or fish, and there's even enough fruit and nuts nearby to make small reserves. The people of Mesolithic become semi-nomads, staying as long as possible in the same place, moving only to follow the seasons and migrations of the animals, which is in a way a first form of couponing when you try

to have the best deal on beef. Let's say. On the other hand, some communities present in warmer climates and especially closer to the coasts will build more permanent facilities. We leave the small huts in sticks and in forges and we start planting good old pots in a hollowed ground before putting a roof in a room of vegetable matter to protect themselves from rain and elements. And it is also at this time that we start quietly domesticated some animals like the dog by a process, I'm sure, paved with big dolls. Look, Greek, just feed these wolves to get them used to a relationship of co-dependence with us, you fool!

I think we're at the Mesolithic now, the end of Mesolithic, and in my opinion what was eventually going to become the agricultural revolution. Ho ho ho ho ho ho's no precise date for the Neolithic, because everyone lives that from their side when it's alright. But it doesn't prevent the Neolithic from marking a turning point in the history of humanity. In fact, it's a bit of the beta version of what we are today. The game has fun possibilities, but there are still a couple of glitches before it's fun and we stop falling into the background. And then, in front of these new permanent communities where life seems more relatively comfortable than ever, it's not long before the majority of nomads hunter-gatherers convert to sedentary, not in the sense that they become big soft gamers, but rather that they

give less and less importance to hunting to take advantage of a paleo lifestyle whose only tripeurs of trippers can get bored with. The colonies spread rapidly, it's the appearance of large-scale communities and that's to say the beginning of civilization. Kind of. But above all, the beginning of an event chain that will lead humanity to have to pay 2000 piastres to live in a not-heated hole. Why is the trip doesn't count for the destination. The engine of all this was obviously agriculture, probably one of the greatest technological advances

after this famous stone spearhead. And indeed, it was a bit of a surfer on this success. It was beginning to enter dangerously into the territory of a show of the singer Garou, still as popular in Eastern Europe, however. We see larger and larger villages appear, in which larger and more complex houses are built to accommodate more people or to support the harvest that is happening in the region, such as rice in East Asia, yin ham, a kind of sweet potato in Africa, maïs in Mexico, normal potatoes in the Andes and and the wheat in the Middle East,

which we will also call the fertile croissant. It's hard to say without instinctively thinking of chocolate in the form of a vulva. Details agreed to stay in the theme of the episode. Obviously, all the tools of the moment were still in stone, but increasingly refined and specialized for agricultural work. Horseshoes, hammers, scissors, a kind of long sculpey blade, not the kind of thing children are told not to run with,

silks, a hand mill, a manual cart, I promise, I have no joke to do about it, and this tool with a name of Harry Potter character or vicious animal, the erminet, a kind of small mega-pouch toy. While we develop our taste for the fleshy portion of the plate, meat is always acquired through hunting, often helped by our new best chums, dogs. You see these ducks, Mr. Grock?

Yes, Mr. Grick, I see them. Perfect, so to my signal, lâche les chiens. On dirait qu'il manque encore quelque chose. Mais c'est pas long que ça aussi, c'est trop forçant, fait qu'on décide d'investiguer le tout nouveau projet de l'époque, l'élevage, But it's not long until it's too forceful, so we decide to investigate the brand new project of the time, farming, which consists of making dependent of humans all the most popular animals to eat, like the goat, nothing more delicious than a goat, I guess, the sheep, again, Miam, question mark, the cow, and this good old pig, which will then be a victim of bacon's success forever. Obviously, all these animals give access to meat, but also to wool, leather, milk, and sumo beasts to help with the work in the fields,

and the breeding project will be a success to this point, because today all these animals are still our slaves, imprisoned in a life cycle whose apotheosis is to be eaten by us. Which is precisely what vegans say exactly when you stop listening. Interesting details! Milk would have quickly become a very important element for survival and literally the growth of humanity. It's an easy protein source that you can get without the discomfort of killing an animal which quickly ends up being

its source of protein. This is why there are so many people who are tolerant of lactose in the world. Probably because those who weren't tend to die faster. In the sense that it's not natural. In the sense that drinking the milk of another animal in nature once at an adult age is evolutionarily a bit kinky on our part. Not to mention that the fact of constantly cuddling animals will introduce humans to many new diseases like measles, flu, varicella, which eliminates even more people.

Add to that that agriculture and mass farming is the beginning of our enormous impact on the ecosystem with the results we know today. But hey, it's a dark detail, finally. And again, a vegan would say that. Hmm. In fact, what agriculture and farming allow is above all an easy access to food, which regulates or at least really relieves the risk of survival, which allows humans for the first time since they started walking on two feet, to sit,

nothing but to lick and think. And here it goes! We see the optimization of tasks in the villages, the first specialized jobs, now there are masonry, art develops, society becomes more complex, which will eventually push incredible inventions like the wheel, writing, the calendar... But it doesn't stop there. Humans are starting to tackle much more existential issues like religion, politics, social classes, property, wealth, power, which eventually leads to things like inequalities, patriarchy and, of course, war. Yes, because it is precisely at this moment that,

freed from all the saber-grabbing tigers in the world, the human being will be able to focus on his predilection activity, to get the hell out of us. Which leads us directly to our second episode of this prehistoric trilogy, while we will explore what happens when we add to this mess of human nature the discovery of metal. In the next episode of the worst moments in history and we will call this wonder

the Bronze! Poor fools! We are the Sumerians! Those to whom you owe everything! Shaking before the Empire of the Hittites and their mastery of commerce! What if the ancient Egyptians have their say? I'm really scared! They have words to say, I'm scared. My name is Charles Beauchesne, and the prehistoric nightmare continues in the next episode.
