You almost didn't exist. Not you personally — all of you. Every human being alive on Earth today descended from a population so small it could have fit inside a single stadium. Something happened 70,000 years ago that nearly ended the human story before it began.
In this video, you'll discover the terrifying event that collapsed the entire human species to just a few thousand survivors, why the genetic evidence inside your own body still carries the fingerprint of that near-extinction, and how the handful of people who made it through changed what it means to be human forever. The fears you carry, the social instincts that make you need other people, the restlessness that drives you to build and explore — none of it is an accident.
