NatGeo: How the Earth changed history

September 12, 2011 11:40 PM

National Geographic's How the Earth changed history (or How Earth made us on the BBC) is the most fascinating documentary series I've seen. The five part series featuring Professor Iain Stewart explains how human history was shaped by the Earth's forces (wind, fire, water etc). It features amazing locations ...and an interesting accent... but the sheer mind-f*ck-level of eye-opening information blew me away. It gives such an amazing historical perspective and really changes the way we look at our history.

Is this just an ad for some show? I can't find the part where we can watch it, which would make this post, well, not a post.

Actually, could the wind or fire or water possibly flick a link my way?

If you are looking for advice on how to Google a torrent called "how the earth changed history", all I can tell you is that I, if I were in your position, would Google something like "torrent" + "how the earth changed history" and see what turned up.

But you might try Amazon if you want to pay the makers.

Neither could I. If you go to youtube and search for "How Earth Made Us", you'll find complete episodes. At least, for now...

Earth, Wind, and Fire certainly played a formative role in my youth.
