In this video, you'll discover why your fear of the dark is inherited, not irrational. You'll learn how a single fire in a South African cave rewired human social life, why hunter-gatherers spent their nights telling stories instead of sleeping straight through, and why your own 3am wake-ups might be a leftover of an ancient two-part sleep cycle your body never forgot.
