What did ancient humans actually do with all that free time? No jobs, no bosses, no alarm clocks. So what did they do all day?
For 95% of human history, we didn't work 40+ hours a week. Anthropologists found hunter-gatherers only worked about 15 hours per week. So what did we do with the other 150 hours?
In this stickman history animation, we explore:
What a typical day for a caveman really looked like
Why "no work" didn't mean "no life"
The shocking truth about how we invented the 9-to-5
What we lost when we started having jobs
This is not just history. It's about why modern work feels so exhausting.
