Mankind The Story of All of Us‪™‬

This is our story, a story of triumph and overcoming.  It is the story of all of us.

From the dawning of time, mankind has faced numerous obstacles and made surprising leaps forward.  In an epic overview of the human race, this fast-paced story of all of us is history like you’ve never read it before.  Each event has been chosen because it’s a key turning point – a stepping stone in our journey from hunter-gatherer to global citizen.

Our story is about connections – why some ideas take hold and spread around the world and how the lives of people in one part of the world are shaped by events in another.  It’s a rich, interwoven narrative – but very accessible and truly global.  With hundreds of high definition images, interactive illustrations and maps, video and stunning CGI from the epic television broadcast event, and much more, Mankind comes to life like never before.  You can also access dramatic first-person representations of key points in history: the invention of iron, the beginning of Buddhism, the crucifixion of Jesus, the sack of Rome, the rule of Genghis Kahn, the ravages of the Black Plague, the invention of the printing press, the discovery of the New World, the birth of the Industrial Revolution, the invention of the steam engine, the rise of global migration, world war, the invention of the computer, and beyond.
