Human Evolution: Science Videos

This series tells the big story of human history, from Earth's formation to the rise of farming and writing. You will learn how scientists date ancient objects using carbon 14 and potassium argon dating. You will also explore early human evolution, how farming changed the world, and ideas about population growth. It ends with a look at what the future might hold. These videos connect science and history into one sweeping story. No prior background is needed, though the dating videos use some algebra.
