How did prehistoric people navigate the globe prior to automobiles, roads, or even wheels

With just two bare feet and a physique designed to never stop moving, the solution begins 300,000 years ago. Your ancestors carried everything they owned on their backs as they traveled 15,000 kilometers over unnamed continents and toward uncharted territory. And they did it because they would perish if they remained motionless. The 3.6-million-year-old footprints at Laetoli, the enigmatic 800,000-year-old ocean crossing at Flores, the 65,000-year leap to Australia, the Polynesian navigators who used nothing but the stars to conquer the Pacific, the first dogs that pulled sleds across Arctic ice, a Kazakhstani culture that transformed the world by climbing onto a horse, a pottery disk that unintentionally became the wheel, and the ancient roads that enabled empires. By the time it is all over, you might have a completely different perspective on your morning drive. #humanhistory #transportation #history #ancienthistory #humanmigration #wheel #horses #polynesians #archaeology #evolution #explainer #animation #education #walking #boats #humanmovement
