This course traces the whole of human history, starting with the emergence of Homo sapiens and the first societies that lived by hunting and gathering. It follows the spread of farming and the first cities, then the rise and fall of the great ancient civilisations.
The later modules cover the Renaissance, the Industrial Revolution and the Cold War, before reaching the digital age. The course also draws links between those events and issues that matter today, which gives the history a present-day frame.
Because the course is organised into modules, you can start wherever your interest lies.
