Why Humans Stopped Wandering: The Story of the First Farmers

11,700 years ago, a girl named Nara raced a storm to gather wild wheat. She had no idea that seeds like hers would one day feed 8 billion people. This animated documentary follows one family across 7,000 years. They build giant stone circles before farming even existed, accidentally invent wheat, live in a town with no streets, sleep above their ancestors, walk farming all the way to Europe, and finally invent writing just to count grain. This is how a wandering species became a civilization. ⏱️ Chapters 0:00 Racing the storm 0:55 Ch 1: The Warm Turn (9,700 BCE) 2:02 Ch 2: The Builders, Göbekli Tepe (9,500 BCE) 3:49 Ch 3: The Accidental Farmers (8,500 BCE) 5:13 Ch 4: The Town of Ladders, Çatalhöyük (6,800 BCE) 6:47 Ch 5: The Price of Plenty (6,200 BCE) 8:24 Ch 6: The Long Walk West (5,500 BCE) 9:52 Ch 7: The First Marks, Uruk (3,200 BCE) 11:20 We still keep their seeds 💬 Which era would you have survived in?
