TTC - Human Prehistory and the First Civilizations torrent

TTC - The Teaching Company

Where do we come from? How did our ancestors settle this planet?
How did the great historic civilizations of the world develop?
How does a past so shadowy that it has to be painstakingly
reconstructed from fragmentary, largely unwritten records nonetheless
make us who and what we are?

This course brings you the answers that the latest scientific and
archaeological research and theorizing suggest about human origins,
how populations developed, and the ways in which civilizations spread
throughout the globe.

It is a narrative of the story of human origins and the many ties that
still bind us deeply to the world before writing.
