Jack Black’s Year One explores human history, but what year are we talking about?

Подробнее о видео

Year One, a comedic spin on early human history, begins in what looks like a hunter-gatherer village, which could place it around 300,000 years ago, says paleoanthropologist Ella Al-Shamahi. But wait, they’re building shelves, suggesting a more permanent settlement, which doesn’t quite fit the hunter-gatherer lifestyle. Then they meet farmers, and we’re fast-forwarded to about 10,000 years ago. So no, it’s definitely not year one. Still, it’s a wild and entertaining rollercoaster through the milestones of human history – just don’t take it as a documentary.
