For the fifth time, we present to you the Human Era Calendar for the year 12,021 - this time it is all about the journey of humanity, beginning tens of thousands of years ago, leading into the revolution of agriculture, to ancient high civilizations and the beginning of modern times, culminating in a vision for our future.

Of course, the first humans looked different. Also, it's a good point. Whether the first humans have looked different was a mystery. It's hardly a mystery to see, how different humanity was. Some people are still hideous. I do see that some people would have a hideous advantage. I did have a hideous advantage, just by pretending to be right. There were such people who've had hideous advantages. Anyway, I doubt some would have a better advantage at arguing with me. It's just pathetic how some people ate supposed to spread "knowledge". It's one thing to gather knowledge, but it's another to be ridiculous. If anything, I should convince some people with what I say. I do see whatever is really interesting about history. Ignorance is bliss though.

It's almost crazy to think about humanity. It's a matter of seeing the truth about battles, or sieges. I don't want to be concerned with the same problem. It's one thing to be educated, but it's another to know less about nature. There is some truth to ignorance and hatred. I do think it's interesting to learn more about Earth. Anyway, I'm serious with how I speak. Even though some people hardly are aware of humanity, I know humanity. However, I'm not making a whole subject about humanity itself. It would be quite boring to come across some opinions. I'd rather not be confused about what I say. It would be quite boring to argue with some people. It would be boring to argue with some people, due to their ignorance. Anyway, it's quite good to understand the evolution of a human being. I would not be wrong about, how interested I am. I just think it's better to not worry about some people. At the end of the day, alcohol is still a thing. Whether the first humans were different can be debated. That it's interesting to learn a serious fact is clear. However, I was talking about humanity previously. It's quite necessary to understand time. Of course, time is always there. You can have a problem with me, just like I can have a problem with you. Whether we can have problems with each other is debatable. Whether some people can have problems with me is debatable. Whether we had a same problem didn't make me like you. Whether or not, I had the same problem with someone didn't worsen life. There must be a hidden world within our world. There could be a "hidden world" within our world. God bless our lives, unlike how God should punish some people. The invaders tried to take cities, unlike how the defenders tried to defend them. God is powerful, unlike the world he supposedly created for us. I would be happy, unless I'm sad or mad. I would ignore you, unlike how I would ignore some people. I would live my life, unlike suffering from constant hatred. I would ignore you, unlike seeing you once. You probably don't know what you're talking about. Some people probably didn't know what they were talking about. What we've said was limited at times. What some people have said was very limited. I would appreciate food, unlike how some people would appreciate life. I would disrespect you, unlike how you would disrespect me once. I would disrespect some people, unlike how they would disrespect me. We do want food, whenever I do. We do want a salad, which is healthy enough. I do like salad, just like I like healthy food. We would distract each other, one way or another. We did distract each other, one way or another. You would offend me, when really it's unlikely you'll offend me. Some people would offend me, when really they won't offend me.The fact that, it's good to talk about hatred is a contributing factor. It's not bad at all to know one fact about time. It's not relevant at all to see, how nature evolves on this planet. However, I was just talking about nature. Of course, one human has the ability to be more serious. It would be almost crazy for me to get distracted by someone. We can be serious, just by not underestimating a human being. I'd say a human can go far, just by seeing time. Whether time is a constant factor contributes to life. The fact that, it's good to talk about life is a contributing factor. It's almost crazy to think about life.I'll watch that video without focusing on irrelevant opinions about it. It's not my fault some people think they deserve attention here. At the end of the day, I know history matters. I'm not talking about what I say endlessly. I just couldn't care less who gets interested in a black hole. It's pathetic to see some people try to be wise, when they look ignorant. I do try to be wise, just by seeing a history video. Whether black holes are confusing has little or nothing to do with our planet. Of course, anything can happen in the universe. It doesn't make much sense for me to see some people being curious. Quite frankly, I was curious a little after seeing a black hole. We never have seen a black hole in real life. Even though Black holes exist, they are strange enough. I don't need to see some irrelevant opinions about what is discussed in a video. Anyway, I'll gladly watch the video without being rude. I was only serious due to some ignorance from a person. Once again, I won't complain a lot about the channel, besides how I never watch it. It would be fair to judge a person, if they provide more ignorance. Whether some people will complain about me has little or nothing to do with me. I'm just here giving my opinions about a history video. I never even know another channel called "Kurzigat" existed. I do respect some knowledge about the universe. I was serious here, except I had a good reason to be so. I'd only distract myself by seeing some people. Anyway, the Earth is big, except the universe is bigger. A black hole can cause endless mysteries. I can clearly see a black hole as problematic. The universe seems endless, as far as I'm concerned. The earth seems endless, as far as I'm concerned. Whether or not, aliens are real depending on what proof is gathered about them. If there is proof about aliens already, that's different. It seems interesting that I'm talking. Black holes do exist after all. Even if black holes are dangerous, there is limited knowledge about them. Some people deserve to be ignored, except history represents the past. When I say "the past," I mostly refer to the distant centuries. I do respect the universe, one way or another. I don't have to be bad, except it's good to talk about black holes.

You forget semi nomadic. A tribe who stand in one place but still practice hunting. This gives advantage to woman but more grind for the husbands and young hunters. After the animals are growing less and less, they are forced to expand their agriculture. Tribes who dont have agriculture technology, fall behind and die. Tribes get agriculture technology by their ancestors or bartering and connecting to other tribe. In the end, agriculture grows. The one who dont have agriculture, forced to move, become nomadic again, and probably die.

It's rather simple to answer why humans chose to farm instead of forage. Security. Farming is the only way to ensure you have an abundance of calories, as you can spend all day foraging and end up with a more varied but much smaller amount of food.

We want be forced to wear diapers or diaper colonialism that won't happen atleast i don't think it will past or future events? Only want not to go extinct is to go to other planets all in good time? Like spread population's put and survive in different locations within the universe itself maybe venture outside our own galaxy? But through machines? But they need found any bigger trench or water deeper then marianas trench is 11km deep under sea level and can rise to 9000m water above sea level as i heard? Water on earth reach 20km deep under water it could reach? And 20km above sea level watet could reach the stratosphere by thats sci fi talk? As far as we know it never reach that far yet? Its Probably speculation?

The information is easy to understand, the research is amazing, and even the fact that they admit and correct things when they're wrong, it's all great! I discovered Kurzgesagt a few months ago, and as I said, everything is so cool, but as an illustrator myself, I'm just blown away by how beautiful these videos are! I hope one day I'll work on something just as great as Kurzgesagt
