Show Notes

Around 10,000 years ago, someone in Southeast Asia captured a bird that lived on the floor of the jungle. Today, billions of descendants of that bird now live on six different continents and provide food for billions of people. 

Yet, the birds which exist today are often very different birds from the ones which were domesticated over ten millennia ago. Much of that change has occurred in just the last 70 years. 

Learn more about the chicken, and how they became one of the most common birds in the world, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
