Man and Beast
Description
During the Ice Age, people and wolves formed a partnership that shaped the future of humanity. With the help of man's new best friend, we domesticated more animals, sowing the first seeds of farming and civilization. This film looks at how our relationships to other species helped us to survive in the natural world. Horses increased our military strength and speed; camels enabled us to cross deserts; and the silk worm led to the Silk Road, which also brought rats and disease to Europe. Finally, animals have helped researchers achieve medical breakthroughs such as the discovery of insulin.
