When Evolution Slowed to a Standstill | HISTORY FOR SLEEP

Did human evolution ever truly stop?

For millions of years, the human lineage changed visibly — bodies shifted, skulls reshaped, limbs adapted to new ways of living. But at some point in deep history, those changes became harder to see. Skeletons began to look familiar. Faces, proportions, and movement stabilized. Tonight, we gently explore the period when evolution appeared to slow to a standstill — and what was really happening beneath the surface.

In this History for Sleep episode, we drift through the long arc of human evolution. With calm narration and unhurried pacing, you’ll journey across stabilizing selection, migration, and survival in changing climates, discovering why natural selection does not always produce dramatic physical change. You’ll learn how evolution can shift its focus — from bodies to behavior, from anatomy to culture, from biology to shared knowledge. This is evolutionary history told softly — designed for reflection, perspective, and rest.

🪐 Featuring:
– Why visible human evolution slowed
– What “stabilizing selection” means
– How climate and migration shaped modern humans
– The role of culture, tools, and cooperation
– Why evolution never truly stops
– Calm, steady narration designed for sleep and historical contemplation

🎧 Listen, relax, and let time move gently.
Each generation, each quiet adaptation, each shared story — a reminder that change can be real even when it is slow.
