Host: Gustavo Arellano

Guests: L.A. Times music reporter Suzy Exposito

Everything Everywhere Daily - The History of the Compass

One of the most important inventions of early humans was the compass. The compass has aided human navigation around the Earth for centuries. 

Despite being a critical technology in the development of transportation, it actually took centuries between its discovery of its underlying principles and its eventual use as a practical tool for navigation. 

Despite their origins over 2,000 years ago, they are still a vital tool today. 

Learn more about the compass and how it helped humanity find its way on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
