Human history in 60 seconds
I love summaries. Here's a good one: a history professor at UPenn teaches all of human history in sixty seconds.
First, tribes: tough life. The defaults beyond the intimate tribe were violence, aversion to difference, and slavery. Superstition: everywhere. Culture overcomes them partially. ...
Also see the video of his talk (in Real format, yuck).
Here are many more 60-second lectures.
Hi Mark,
They also sent a CD to all alum's with these 60 second reels. I've viewed a few of them - a mixed bag. Though, an interesting marketing tool. History was one of my majors there, and I had many of the professors that are featured.
If you like it short and sweet, here's the history of the universe:
" - hydrogen is an odorless gas which, given time, turns into people..."
