Life Million Years Ago | The Primeval Pharmacy: Discovering Lost Healing Plants of Million Years Ago
Before pills and hospitals, the forest was the only doctor. In this episode of Prehistoric Planetaries, we open the doors to the Primeval Pharmacy to discover the healing plants that sustained life million years ago.
How did early humans know which plants cured and which killed? We explore "Zoopharmacognosy"—the science of animals self-medicating—and how our ancestors learned to harness the chemical power of nature. From the antibacterial mosses of the Ice Age to the stimulants of the Cenozoic, we track the evolution of herbal medicine.
🌿 In this video, we identify:
The First Herbalists: How animals (even dinosaurs?) used plants to fight parasites.
Neanderthal Dentistry: Evidence of aspirin (Poplar) and Penicillium in ancient teeth plaques.
The "Lost" Plants: Did we lose miracle cures during the Ice Age extinctions?
Trial and Error: The deadly process of discovering what was edible.
