HOW DID WE GET HERE? A CASE AGAINST CIVILIZATION

Instructor: Steve Pollack, Performer, Director & Actor
Scientists have named the current geologic age as the “Anthropocene,” an age where changes in the earth are caused by the activities of man, rather than the more natural shifts of nature. This series examines how the Agricultural Revolution
of 10-12,000 years ago helped to provide for the great civilizations on earth, changing the behavior of humans to allow them to dominate earth, animals and each other in cycles of colonization, war, slavery, racism and imperialism, eventually leading to the endangerment of the survival of life on earth. This in-depth series covers human history from the time of the most ancient civilizations through the rise of Rome, the incredible prowess of the Vikings, the birth of the Moslem* Empire, and the strain between East and West that has shaped our history since the fall of Constantinople.
