How Humans Domesticated Coffee?

A bird eating fruit in the Ethiopian highlands is the real reason coffee exists — not a goat herder named Kaldi, whose famous legend turns out to be a 17th-century invention. This video traces coffee's actual history: its wild origins in Ethiopia, its early use as a chewed stimulant and energy bar long before anyone brewed it, its rise through Sufi monasteries in Yemen, Yemen's failed monopoly and the legendary smuggler who broke it, coffee's spread through Europe's "penny universities," a French naval officer who crossed the Atlantic guarding a single seedling with his own drinking water, and the strange story of how a civet's digestive system created one of the world's most expensive cups of coffee. ☕ Which part of this story surprised you the most?
