Exploring the groundbreaking advances, events, and developments that shaped civilizations and forged todays world, this six-part History Channel series employs Hollywood-quality reenactments, stunning computer animations, and revealing commentary from historians and other experts to chronicle human history from its ancient African origins to the 21st century.

The programs trace how each example not only immediately changed the world in which it arose, but also its larger and lasting impact on human social, economic, and physical development. For instance, professors, writers, and even noted chef Anthony Bourdain explain how fire not only provided early peoples with warmth, but also extended the day, provided a focal point for social interaction, and changed the human diet. Other topics include bronze, corn, aqueducts, gunpowder, domesticating the dog, the plague, the Scientific Revolution, and Columbus’s voyage. (A beautifully illustrated 437-page companion book explores some of the examples in greater depth.)
