What Ancient Humans Did Instead of Locking Their Doors

Right now, closing a door or locking your phone feels automatic. For 290,000 of the 300,000 years humans have existed, that option didn't exist at all. This video traces privacy back to its actual origin, from hunter-gatherer camps where nothing was hidden, through the first walls at Çatalhöyük 9,000 years ago, to the invention of the locked diary just a few hundred years ago. Along the way, why gossip functioned as social infrastructure, why secrecy used to belong to the group instead of the individual, and what we traded away to gain a room of our own.
