About this listen
Before laws, before guilt, before language fully formed—someone planned the first murder.
Told in the voice of an ancient storyteller, this episode imagines that moment: when hunger, envy, and reason collided, and the first deliberate killing changed humanity forever.
Murderous Origins explores the likely beginnings of premeditated violence among early Homo sapiens.
Archaeological evidence suggests organized conflict and intentional killing appeared tens of thousands of years ago, around the same time as symbolic thought and complex tools.
This story reimagines that shift—from instinctive survival to calculated intent—when planning death became part of being human.
