From Stone to Steam: the Cultural and Technical Epic of Humanity (ASMR, Sleep, History)

Tonight's episode is a compilation of topics that cover the cultural and technical development of humans:
- Part 1 is about the appearance of "Behavioral Modernity", the series of cognitive traits and behaviors displayed by Homo Sapiens since Prehistory;
- Part 2 is about the Neolithic Revolution, the invention of agriculture a few thousand years ago;
- Part 3 is about the history of machines, that since the invention of the first tools have become a way for humans to project their imaginary and their will;
- Part 4 is about "uncontacted peoples" of our time, which gives me an opportunity to talk about Anthropology and the various meanings of the word "culture".
