What Our Stone Age Ancestors ACTUALLY Ate — And What It Did to Their Bodies | History for Sleep Newsletter & Tools (Exclusive): https://sleepytimehistory.com Support us with coffee ❤️ https://buymeacoffee.com/sleepytimehi... What did our Stone Age ancestors actually eat when the sun went down and the firelight flickered on their faces—and what did those ancient meals do to their bodies? In this Sleepy Time History episode, we quietly travel back 50,000 years to explore real Stone Age diets: scavenged meat, roasted marrow, wild plants, roots, berries, shellfish, insects, and more. Discover how fire, hunting, coastal seafood, and even early fermentation shaped human evolution, our bones and teeth, and the ancient human microbiome. We’ll compare Paleolithic diets to modern eating, explore Neanderthal meals, and trace the big shift when agriculture upended everything. Designed as calming, atmospheric history for sleep, this video blends science, archaeology, and gentle storytelling to help you unwind while learning. If you enjoy relaxing deep dives into ancient history, evolution, and what humans really ate in the Stone Age, subscribe to Sleepy Time History and drift off with a new slow, thoughtful story every week.

Note on Process & Accuracy: Every story on this channel begins with a deep respect for history. We act as directors and editors, using AI tools to help research and draft the script while we shape the narrative and verify facts. The narration comes from a digital replica of a professional voice actor, and the images are individually crafted artistic impressions using AI. Even with these tools, creating a story of this depth still takes hours of work. Please note that while the narrative is thoroughly based on historical research, its primary purpose is storytelling for entertainment and relaxation. As such, it is not intended to be used as a formal academic or scientific source. Thank you for your trust and support.
