Science, Biology, and History in One


                So I watched a real interesting show on the History Channel this weekend. It was called Mankind The Story of All of Us. If you are a visual learner, I would recommend this mini-series of simple understanding of how the evolution of humans evolved into today. If anyone took a particular BIO 182 lab with a smart and interesting instructor, then the video he showed before the experiment on Becoming Human part 1 on Nova is just like the History Channels program.
The 1 hour Nova program shows how humans took the first step 6 million years ago to separate us from apes. Also, how the tools we used and the force of bipedalism made us into who we are today. On the other hand, the History Channels program shows similar events like the start of farming, inspiration of democracy, the belief of a higher power, the discovery of metals to make weapons, Rome’s advanced empire, and other key events that make who we are today. The species humans went through many obstacles through the ages, and this underdog story of humans explains it in a visual dramatic reconstruction events. I have left two links below for the Nova program Becoming Human part 1, and one link for the History Channels program Mankind The Story of All of Us.
                Furthermore, don’t be frightened by the time of 2 hours and 30 minutes of the YouTube video one because the program was three parts long and the first part is the crucial one hour.
