Ulisse - Il piacere della scoperta - Season 4 Episode 2

Ulisse will retrace some of the most extraordinary moments in the history of Homo Sapiens. We will discover how he was able to survive in extremely difficult conditions and how, despite adversity, he was able to give birth to what was perhaps the greatest revolution in human history: agriculture. Alberto Angela will show us objects and finds that have marked the long odyssey of Homo Sapiens and, through these, he will tell us how he hunted, how he tanned skins and how he sewed them. We will discover which animals populated the planet, such as the saber-toothed tiger and the flat-headed bear. We will follow the evolution that occurred in human history with the birth of agriculture and animal breeding. Man, in fact, ceases to be a homeless nomad and begins to create the first stable agglomerations; next to the huts, pens for animals and warehouses for cereals began to appear, also intended to store supplies to deal with periods of famine. Thus, community life is born.
