Sapiens

So, around 70,000 years ago, we had the cognitive revolution, where we learned to think.

Then around 12,000 years ago, we get the agricultural revolution, where we learn to grow crops.

And about 500 years ago, we get the scientific revolution, where we learn more about the world around us.

We learned to think 70,000 years ago?

Yeah, like, we, we weren't like apes anymore.

Okay, but apes still think.

I mean, do they though? I don't know.

Look, just l- let me get to the fucking book, Peter.

(laughs)

Okay.

Whatever.

(laughs)

Well, he, he said it was the first revolution, and I'm just trying to talk about the first revolution with you and you're yelling at me.

(laughs)

And I don't... (laughs) I don't understand why.

He starts with-

(laughs)

... you know, a description of, like, the Big Bang and the formation of the universe.

That was the first revolution.

(laughs)

Life appears, and then we started to get, like, mammals and then primates, et cetera.

And he starts talking about what sets us apart from other great apes, from other primates.

Why was it us who took over the planet?

Hmm.

Mm-hmm.
