Explore what humanity ate across 3 million years of history

Long before history was written, food was keeping the record. It followed humanity from the first controlled fires through migration, agriculture, domestication and the rise of cities. It crossed deserts in caravans, seas in amphorae, and empires as tribute, trade and conquest. Later came machines, refrigeration, fertilizers, factories and global supply chains, transforming what people could grow, preserve and eat. Human Food Atlas places these changes on one geographic and chronological canvas, revealing connections across thousands of years and kilometers that disappear when history is divided neatly into countries, civilizations and periods.
