Description
How Humans Shaped History: From Migration to Civilization Collaps. In this thought-provoking podcast, historian and researcher Yadav Devkota takes us on a journey through the origins of human civilization and the milestones that shaped our shared history. The conversation begins with how humans first migrated into South Asia and the surprising story of four different human species that once lived across Asia and Europe. Yadav Devkota then unpacks the history of animal domestication, explaining how our oldest companions transformed survival and society. The discussion moves into the rise of ancient civilizations, exploring how they molded global culture, developed systems of knowledge, and laid the foundation for traditions and innovations still relevant today. Yet alongside their achievements, we also learn why these civilizations eventually collapsed, revealing critical lessons about resilience, governance, and survival. Finally, we dive into Mesopotamian brilliance—how humans first tracked time, built mathematical systems, and laid down the earliest laws that changed the course of human progress. This podcast is more than a history lesson; it’s a journey into the human story, where migration, innovation, and civilization shaped the destiny of our species. If you are curious about anthropology, ancient culture, or the origins of human society, Yadav Devkota’s insights will leave you with a deeper understanding of how the past continues to shape our present and future.
