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.

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.
