What Did Ancient Humans Actually Do All Day?

No alarm clock. No job. No weekend. So what did ancient humans actually do all day? Follow Kai through one ordinary day 20,000 years ago, from keeping the fire alive before sunrise to telling stories around it at night. Based on real archaeological finds and studies of modern hunter-gatherers like the San and the Hadza, this animated video shows how early humans gathered food, hunted, made their own tools and clothes, and spent their evenings. And by the end, you'll see the biggest thing most people get wrong about caveman life.
