7.8 Million Years Ago_ When the First Hunters Made Their Mark on Human History
In 7.8 Million Years Ago | When the First Hunters Made Their Mark on Human History, we travel deep into the Late Miocene epoch to witness a critical turning point in evolution: the rise of early predators and the first hunting behaviors that would one day shape the human story.

Explore how our distant ancestors and their relatives began to adapt—using intelligence, cooperation, and speed—to survive in increasingly competitive environments. Through breathtaking reconstructions and expert insight, this episode uncovers how hunting didn’t just change diets—it rewired brains, built communities, and laid the foundation for human evolution.
