Stories From The Stone Age
It's the end of the last ice age. Our ancestors have survived this freezing desolation for 25,000 years. They are hunter-gatherers.They are never able to settle down. But these nomads have changed the world. Their stone-age revolution has made our civilization possible. They had set humanity on a long journey to a modern world.
This documentary explores the revolutionary period of prehistory that began when humans abandoned the nomadic hunting and gathering existence they had known for millennia to take up a completely new way of life – the decisive move to farming and herding the ration of permanent settlements and the discovery of metals – setting the stage for the arrival of the world’s first civilisation.

Engaging and for the most part informative even though they tend to simplify the development of societies. Some of the facts seem off too. For example, it suggests there were no permanent settlements before agriculture, that Gobekli Tepe was created after the development of agriculture, and dogs were domesticated around 12 thousand BCE. Still, worth watching.
