The True Story of Human Migration (It’s Not What You Think)

You just booked a flight without thinking twice about it. Twelve hours, maybe fourteen, and you land on the other side of the planet. But the real story of how your ancestors crossed this Earth is far stranger than any airplane. In this video, you'll trace the entire human journey out of Africa — the narrow strait crossed on rafts of bundled reeds, the ice-age land bridge that connected Siberia to Alaska, the coastal "kelp highway" that carried people down two continents in a couple thousand years, and the Polynesian navigators who crossed the largest ocean on Earth using nothing but stars, swells, and birds. No maps. No compasses. Just small, practical decisions repeated across three hundred thousand years, until a single population became every human alive today.
