What Life Was Like Before the First Cities – 10,000 BCE | Boring Sapien

Ever wondered what humans did all day before traffic, taxes, TikTok, and ten thousand types of gluten-free bread? Welcome to 10,000 BCE — a magical time when people hunted, gathered, and invented boredom long before they invented cities.

In this video, we time-travel to the original group chats (a.k.a. sitting around a fire grunting) and explore the daily grind of pre-urban life. No social media, no mortgages, no HOA complaints — just you, a sharp stick, and a very angry mammoth.

We’ll explore:

What counted as “fun” before Netflix (spoiler: it was walking… a lot),

Why early humans thought wheat was worth settling down for,

And how the world's first neighborhood watch was probably a guy with a rock yelling "Bear!"

This isn’t the version you slept through in history class. It's dusty, raw, and strangely relatable. Because honestly? 10,000 BCE might have been simpler... but was it better?

Hit play and take a step back — waaaaay back.
