Why Did Ancient Humans Just Start Dancing ?

You've done it your whole life. At weddings. At concerts. In your kitchen when nobody's watching. Your foot starts tapping and you didn't decide to do that. It just happened.
Why?
The answer goes back 300,000 years. And it has nothing to do with fun.
Ancient humans didn't dance because they heard a good song. They danced to survive. To coordinate mammoth hunts. To chemically bond their tribe together. To dissolve fear before battle. To communicate before language even existed. Dancing wasn't entertainment — it was the most sophisticated social technology they had.
In this video we get into why ancient humans started dancing, how war dances literally changed brain chemistry before battle, why every single culture on earth independently arrived at the exact same conclusion, why ancient Egyptian doctors actually prescribed dancing as medicine, and why your foot tapping right now is 300,000 years of evolution talking.
Oh and there's a guy in 1518 who started dancing and couldn't stop for months. Hundreds of people joined him. Some died. We get into that too.
This is the rabbit hole you didn't know you needed.
