How Climate Made History. Episode 1
Description
Ever since the Big Bang, powerful forces have forged the conditions on Earth that have made life here possible. In a single breath-taking sequence, we travel through the millennia to witness the formation of our planet, its singular position in relation to the sun, the evolution of our continents and the birth of entire mountain chains. We learn how all of these elements combine to create Earth’s constantly changing climate. Homo sapiens emerge into this unpredictable and violent world, fighting for survival from the start. It is these early humans’ ability to adapt that allows them to triumph even in the face of incredible adversity. The path for modern man is set at this early stage.
