The Entire History of Human Civilisations Explained in 25 Minutes

Civilisation. It's a word we associate with our species' history perhaps more than any other, but, the actual age of civilization is but a snapshot in the overarching timeline of humanity. Modern humans evolved in Africa roughly three hundred thousand years ago, and for only around six thousand years of that have we organised ourselves into civilisations.

However, in that six thousand or so year period, humans have become more technologically advanced than nature ever seemingly intended. We have built wonders, waged wars, developed technologies, and have even left the confines of our planet to pursue a new frontier beyond our atmosphere. How did we get here, though?
