Thanks for posting. This is a more extensive review, with expert commenters, than the book. Get the book, too. A website is mentioned, also. Excellent! (Note that, since this work was created around 2010, the science on the origin of Native American peoples over time has evolved and theories stated as fact here may be subject to new hypotheses.)
It's fascinating that the narrator says most of us don't hear about South American history in school, but we've all heard of the Parthenon and Confucius. I'm from the United States and am in my 50s. I've never met anyone my generation or younger who had even one class on world history in school. Many of us didn't even learn US history, other than a bit of propaganda on elementary school. Most people in the US, if they had to guess how long the Roman empire lasted, would have absolutely no idea. I didn't know until a year ago. I would have guessed they were around for maybe 3-400 years and that their empire extended west from Italy into now-England, but that's about it. I didn't realize the Romans were such a huge part of history in that half of the world until this past year. It's terrifying that they are not covering this in public schools.
And I couldn't tell you what the Parthenon is without an internet search, though I think it's the ruins of some government building from either the Greeks or the Romans.
Regarding the chipped stone being the first tool, it seems really unlikely to me that people would be at a point of patiently chipping away to create a tool, yet that was the very first (and only) tool being made then. Surely a tool-making species would make more than one tool. Women were always prolific tool-makers of course, but most of the things they would have made would not have kept for 2 million years. My guess is that the first tool was a basket, a baby cradle, or a cooking implement.
I believe reading the history of zardushtian was belonged to " ariana", not iran! Beacause zardusht was living in becteria which was belonged to one of the states of ariana which is "balkh" of today's Afghanistan. And kindly requested from bbc to fix these points and I believe these history of persia belongs to afghanistan, iran, Tajikistan and some parts of today's pakistan. And finishing it to iran, which is only a small part of that huge history doesn't work well. Regards
The clovis 1st theory in the americas is not still believed in whole bc of the genetics a geene found in aboriginal ppl from Australia and other places is also found in aboriginal ppls in the Amazon both of which are 60 thousand + yrs old its also in north america but not as much which leads us to think the land bridge was used in a prior migration or that those geenes came another way which may be a open water voyage which we no they could in smaller jumps like to ne guinea and australia
They were all on the bbc website, perhaps they still are if you Google, certainly easy enough to image search each object. All public domain stuff. Only the bbc does this and we're going to loose it.
@@mayagogo I don't think youre understanding. There is literally photo's to go with the audiobook. Like one photo per chapter. So why not just add them, since they took the time to put it up.
Dude nah fuvk this, I thought I hit the jackpot with a long educational video to listen to while working, but withIN THE FIRST 15 MINUTES PROMOTING THE OUT OF AFRICA THEORY?!?! Nope. At least I caught it early...
4400 bc is pretty good date 3400 is first writing..civ 1 to 2000 years before that....if the world needs conciouness to fully exist then the bible was spot on
No, it was a radio series on BBC with an accompanying book (illustrated). You can get a complete CD audio set of the broadcasts...including part 2 & various editions of the book on Amazon.
A hand axe. These people who advertise themselves as experts are clearly not of this world and are inherently incapable of interpreting facts like the rest of us. Mr Dyson on the other hand explains in less than thirty seconds flat why it's not an axe. Axe-ing stuff, day in day out for a million years and yet not a single improvement to its design. Expert's are dangerous to mankind!
Yes we are actually coming out of an ice age now :o I always wonder how that factors into what people are saying about global warming? Plus London’s hottest year in recorded history (so far) was over 100 years ago lol so I wonder how that factors into it as well.

I am amazed at the scientific skills that enables the narrator to determine which sex made and/or used objects made in pre-history. /s

Hi
Regarding the chipped stone being the first tool, it seems really unlikely to me that people would be at a point of patiently chipping away to create a tool, yet that was the very first (and only) tool being made then. Surely a tool-making species would make more than one tool. Women were always prolific tool-makers of course, but most of the things they would have made would not have kept for 2 million years. My guess is that the first tool was a basket, a baby cradle, or a cooking implement.
