The History of Food

PLAY


Journey through time, from hunter-gatherer roots to futuristic food tech, exploring the evolving history of human sustenance.

Go back in time to our earliest hunter-gatherer beginnings all the way to the future of seed storage and food production.

The history of food is the history of human life itself. From hunting and gathering on the savannas of Africa to the cornucopia of the modern American supermarket, our primal and essential need for food and drink has driven human evolution, invention, and society. In keeping with the age old adage, “you are what you eat,” the series focuses on the indelible link between us and what’s on our plate.
