What is your favourite international food? Italian spaghetti bolognese, Indian curry, Irish coddle, Chinese Kung Pao chicken, or Belgian chocolate? These all have one thing in common, other than the fact that they’re delicious. They all rely on Native American plants.
Before Columbus stumbled upon the wrong continent, famines regularly ripped through Europe, Africa and Asia.
After 1492, tables everywhere were introduced to corn, potatoes, peppers, tomatoes, chocolate, vanilla and many other foods.
Now, over 60% of the food consumed worldwide originated in the Americas. But how did the Native Americans create and manage these incredible crops. What amazing effects did they have, and how did potatoes and bird poop create the modern world. Well, Let’s Find Out.

Making this video really detailed my diet. I ate cassava crisps along with about 10000 calories worth of other junk.... For research purposes obviously.
Don't forget to check out Step Back History's video here th-cam.com/video/4vHaeuC_Fao/w-d-xo.html
At least when you eat 10,000 calories worth of junk, you end up producing great videos whereas I only produce self-hatred.

So... how many varieties of potatoes do you think companies like Monsanto may have? Something is not adding up here.
Cassava crisps????? My guy, just eat garri, peanuts, and sugar soaked in cold water next time! or Eba and egusi soup! LOL!
damn it this video should come with a hunger warning cuz it really makes you want to eat

@@Drskopf woow that's so awesome thanks so much for telling me 🙏🏼 I don't know much about indigenous Nicaraguan history
@@sapointi you're welcome is a sad story bc there are a few left, when Spain was here they destroy everything including themselves bc thirst for gold made 2 rival exploration clash and created a war in between them one cane from the south from Costa Rica and the other one cane from the north coming from Mexico. In the end they enslaved the natives almost 80% of the entire population from the central and Pacific shores and they were sent to the a huge gold and silver mines in potosi Bolivia. Be they were shipped from a colonial Port on the Pacific ocean called Puerto El Realejo now in ruins

Potato Candy as well. An Appalachian treat.

Like Bubba from Forrest Gump
Really this video could be titled "How Native American Farmers Saved the World." I'd never thought about the implications of how native farmers efforts made the crops so suitable for different environments. Awesome video 👌
Why didn't Natives develop a parallel civilization? Why were they still in the Stone Age when Columbus landed?
@@funveeable I believe the current thinking has to do with the lack of easily domesticated draught animals. CGP Grey did a video about animal domestication that explains it pretty well.

Very informative. I didn't know 60% of the food worldwide originated in the Americas.
I did.
The Corn, the potato, the tomato, the chocolate the Coke (Koka plant), the turkey, the avocados, the pumpkins and the cassava were the work of millennia of Native American experimentation. Now I know why they earned everyone's respect after years of demonizing them.
True...our history book taught us that Portuguese gave us potatoes
@@octaviogutierrez9158 Agreed! 😋 Coffee is from Ethiopia though
❤me too
Ok, so you made me really hungry now. Great job, by the way. Your videos get better and better.
Love seeing the cooperation between the history TH-camrs
Yes
Thank you Native Americans for my raging chocolate addiction.
Im pretty sure its more of a Sugar addiction xD
To go with my coke habit.
Np
This is the most late capitalist comment ever
The chocolate used by the people of mesoamerica was nothing like modern chocolate. It was a bitter ceremonial drink.
That 3 sisters crop combination was pure epicness!!!!! That's efficient as hell man. I love it.
Thank you for this extremely informative program, truly.
its probably a pain to harvest on mass, but it sounds like an insanely efficient system.
Makes a great soup combo too. Every time I make it for dinner or I smell it, it reminds me of home cooking.
I read it as "cops". :D
Oof. No.
Fancy seeing you here KaG!
OMG I am such a huge fan of yours. I just love your amazing content. Please keep up the good work!
I found many great historian youtubers in comment section of cogito's videos. Btw which software do you all youtubers use for creating 2d animation? Please reply.
@@alexey926 Guinea pigs, llamas, alpacas, dogs, turkeys, bees.
I was gonna say, how ironic, 'Belgian chocolate', considering the fact that cocoa doesn't grow there, but then you said "they all relied on native American plants" and my point was made.
"Europe is potato" is a very accurate statement, when I moved to Europe from Costa Rica, it was a drastic change for me, because we normally eat rice.
Belgium chocolate ain't belgium, french fries are not french.
❤well said and well OBSERVED
"Europe.Is.Potato." for whatever reason has me dying
This made me very happy. My ancestors were messing around with crops and it helped the world. It’s just nice to think about
It's all the more impressive when you realize that Old World wild crops were basically ready to farm, while New World wild crops were just random plants. Teosinte was just grass, and Mesoamerica turned it into one of the greatest grains in the world!
Such a great video thank you we indigenous people get so little representation thank you so much
Wow, and I thought your animations were already great? Seriously one of TH-cam's most underrated channels.
KhAnubis Nice seeing you here
Second that.
Essentially, Afroeurasia had domesticated animals and didn't focus on engineering crops unlike people in the Americas that had no domesticable animals and had to rely on engineering crops.
No that is incorrect.
The Americas did have domestic animals. The horse came from Americas, but that's another story.
North America's did have dog which were used as beast of burden. And South America had Llamas and pack as.
Unfunatley the horse had died off. ( there are many option why this happen but the important thing is they all had died)
BUT
The important thing is, as far as I have seen, they did NOT have the wheel.
No wheel means no charriot ( which was used before the horse was rode) and no wagons or carts.
Maybe I'm wrong on not having the wheel, but I think that was the problem.
I mean there was some huge American civilization. Aztec, Maya, and Inca were just a few, but there were many more. Funny those three were very similar. There were ones very different from them.
There were civilization that have not been found yet. For instance there is this place that today is a desert where water is 1500 down. 1000 years ago it was a lake. Recent find found there was a civilization there 600 years ago.
What is confusing is why other animals were not domesticated. Some will say thing like you can domesticated buffalo. Sure you can, just as dog and cattle were. But instead of eating the weakest ones, breed them until you get what you want.
Now I want to bring up another aspect.
Ok old world domesticated animals. New world domesticated crops.
Yet no one domesticated fish. Sure you have fish farms now. But still that is far behind the other two.
@wearealltubes ok I'LL agree with that. It would be hard to selective breed fish.
For that matter I don't even know how to tell a male fish from a female. Lol
I dont mean this negatively, just they are good with sexing day old chick. I bet the Chinese or Japanese could sex fish.
@@pychohobo1832 the thing with the wheel is that they invented it and used it in some cases but they had no roads and a wagon with wooden wheels and no road is kinda shitty
@@Joeink100 No we had roads, it's just the people who had concept of the wheel lived in regions where it was not quite easy.
cant have it all
Holy moly, it's like the whole world now eats some sort of Native American inspired food. The Post-Columbian era really changed the world forever.
No native americans, Incas :) In Peru there are around 3000 varieties of potato
@@VidelaArg pero la papa fue domesticada en Chiloé.
Stalin Jiménez Error, fue domesticada en los altiplanos Peruanos
Stalin Jiménez y posteriormente llevada por los españoles (lo cual está históricamente comprobado)
@@VidelaArg No. La papa que se comercia por todo el mundo fue domesticada de forma independiente en la isla de Chiloé, en Chile. Es igual que con la calabaza, que se domesticó primero en Ecuador, pero también tuvo un proceso de domesticación independiente en lo que hoy es Estados Unidos.
As a Peruvian I am glad that the world benefited from our potatoes. It’s amazing how many different types , colors and sizes we have. That guano thing tho, it’s crazy how much we exported to the outside world. Well done my peoples, well done.
Thank you for the potatoes I actually want to visit some day to try some of the different varieties that we can’t get up here in the USA

I live on Karelian Isthmus. Potato is the only thing which grows very good in this climate (maybe also berries)

Great video Cogito! Always love when you post new content.
France has quite a fun story when it comes to potatoes. It was long believed to be good only for pigs but a certain Mr. Parmentier realized its high potential in feeding the masses so he asked the king to create a prestigious but extremely secrete potato garden in one of his castles. From there, people got curious and potatoes became much more prestigious and accepted countrywide.
Now we have a mashed potato and meat dish named after him - Hachis Parmentier.
I heard the same story when I was young (and mentioned it in my podcast) but instead of it being the French I was told it was the Prussians that did that.
That's pretty cool :D. I want to try that dish now.
@@CogitoEdu It's pretty good!
@@MLaserHistory Oh really? Now it makes me wonder if that story is fake and it's just something every country has...
@@ThisisBarris I wouldn't be surprised if it is. When you look around Europe there're a lot of "urban legends" that each country has its own version of.
“Imagine what Ireland would be like without the potato.”
They tried that once. Didn’t go well. Didn’t go well at all…
I stan the wholesome alpaca at 2:33
Alpacas are too pure for us
He's not the Alpaca we deserve. But he's the one we need right now.
@@CogitoEdu that needs to be plushie available at your merch store.
Very informative, amazingly well done.
The Indigenous peoples of the Americas fed the world and in exchange they were enslaved and massacred in huge numbers, they were exposed to deadly diseases and received no aid whatsoever, they were forced to assimilate to European cultures, languages and religions, losing their own and mixing with other people groups, and those who survived were marginalized and pushed to the margins. What a way to say thanks.
Great video mate. such an important piece of history, so easy to over look. I learned something today.
This is exactly like a history class I took in undergrad. The class was centered around the theme of food. It was a great way to look at history from the perspective of ancient society's normal, everyday people. Nice video. Just stumbled upon your channel.
Your channel is amazing. So informative and never boring.
Informative and entertaining video as always. I had no idea the role these plants played in history.
This video was sooo good! I always bring up agriculture when someone says we were more civilized than native Americans. Maybe in other areas we were more advanced but agriculturally its clear that native Americans were much more advanced.
Because Europeans are equating civilization with steel, guns, writing, and architecture of the medieval and renaissance era. However, the average person did not know how to read or write nor lived in a castle in that era. Only the elite, aristocracy, and monarchy. Life expectancy in Europe was age 30-40 until the 20th century.
Quite interesting & informative! Thanks for uploading!
I loved this video!! Thank YOU!! I read about this in 1493 by Charles Mann so seeing it play before my eyes a la animation was quite enjoyable. And the narration was nice. Nothing like an Irish accent, just lovely. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Amazing video! Love it and thanks! Show it every semester in my Foods Class/High school. Wish it was titled :How Native American saved the world. But you clearly state this in the video over and over with all the infomation. Well done my friends!
Growing up in a Puerto Rican houselhold, the sweet potato and cassava/yucca were pretty much Sacred. All hail the hardy tubers. Especially: Potato.
The Chinese loved sweet potato so much that there are noodles that are made of sweet potato starch there. It's different but still tastes amazing!

"what would ireland be like without potatoes"oh boy
nice video btw. you should def get more publication man
To be fair, Ireland wouldn't have so far to fall from a single blight if they hadn't risen so high from potato.
Of course, the potato blight exposes the biggest lesson that New World agriculture has to teach...monoculture is just worse than polyculture. Sure, monoculture is easier to set up, but a wider variety of crops lets you reach further and survive disasters better.
@@timothymclean we had plenty of other crops but the British took it all to feed them and their empire. We could have fed them 2 times over. But hey that's the Brits ay
You’ve gotta wonder though... who was the first person that thought ‘hey, lets eat those poisonous plants over there!
Whoever it was deserves a giant statue!
The same kind of person who looked at a horse and thought, "Hmm, a neurotic animal terrified of its own shadow with a kick that can shatter every bone in my body and a bite that can take my arm off. I should sit on top of it!"
guanaco and vicuna (relatives of lama) were the first to eat potatoes, they lick clay before eating poisonous plants, the toxins stick-more technically, “adsorb”-to the fine clay particles in the animals’ stomachs, passing through the digestive system without affecting it. Potato at wild is really poisonous, so andean people learned to dunk wild potatoes in a “gravy” made of clay and water (they still do to this day).
Probably someone who had nothing else to eat.
Great Video Bud! Informational and Entertaining! 👍👌

Title: How potatoes saved the world
My Brain: Thinks about Irish joke...
this video is very informative great work Cogito.
Your intel is so valuable... You got a new subscriber!
And do not forget the Americas taught Europe how to plant.
Prior to this Europe was wearing out thier soil. ( hence why the guano was needed)
Old world would plant the same crop year after year for hundred to thousand of years in the same place. This was the #1 reason for famine.
New World show the importance of crop rotation.
In most case the famines were caused by killing the soil, not weather.
No, this is false. Crop rotation existed before that point in Europe.
@@gorthorki really? When did Europe start rotating crops?
You are going to find this practice stared after the New World.
@Francisco Carvalho Capeche in the low countries, started from the around 1500 a four year rotation system was used for more yield.
ps, for example carrots had hunderds of sorts, if you went 2-3 villages further, other carrots were used, and about NONE of them where orange before the Netherlands set on their mission to devellop a national vegatable to honor the house of orange !
the fact that improved on yield and some disease resistance at the same time it the reason the new orange carrots suppressed all the other kinds and are now the standard carrot in every supermarket!
Plus the fact that the south American civilisations would often have famine due to overworking the land and stripping it of minerals.
Colonization is the worst trade deal in the history of trade deals for the indigenous peoples

Awsome video and a dope channel thanks
So educational! Thx much!
As a French. I was like. YOU FORGET PARMENTIER !!!
He developed the first plant of potatoes that grow in Europe.
And then created the dish to teach people how to eat it.
(I lie no french know him but he is my hero)
He didn't develop the first plant of potato that grows in Europe. He convinced the French that potatoes were nutritious and delicious. Other countries like Spain were already eating them.
@Eri he did both!!!
He adapted potatoes plants that gorth in the the Andes and had develop a cold resistance
And then he uses the first propagand method, giving a potato flower bouquet to Luis XIV pepoel try to grood it
It did give plainty but they didn't know who to use it.
So he spends the rest of his life writing kitchen book.
So that the story of achie Parmentier
omg im so glad youtube recommended this!!!
Me too :D Welcome to the channel.
Great content good job
Excellent video !! Had no idea that the " Colombian Exchange " had such an epic effect on world history ... Cheers.
