42: The Answer to Almost Everything

Episode Synopsis

Humanity has been hoping for a sensational discovery. Ever since we succeeded in converting wind and sun into energy, we've been waiting for the next big thing. A treasure just waiting to be discovered. The idea that we might find this in our feces seems far-fetched at first. We overlook its true potential. Research on our bodies is essential for modern medicine. Through it, immunologists and nutritionists receive messages from the mysterious core of our bodies. Doctors like gastroenterologist Harry Sokol in Paris go even further and utilize the healing capabilities of our stool. But our feces offer us other access points to ourselves. Based on ancient fecal discoveries from the past, we can travel back in time to our evolutionary history.
