Hi Everyone,

Earlier this year I uploaded a History of Mankind video which lasted for over 20 minutes and I felt that it didn’t reach as many people as I had hoped. I suspect it may have been something to do with the length so I’ve done some heavy duty editing and created this video here.

I know that I’ve titled this video ALL of human history but let’s be real, it’s obviously impossible to include ALL of human history in one video. I’ve tried to include the key moments in our collective history and the rule of thumb was, if an event impacted or continues to impact a significant proportion of the world’s global population then it made the video.

Also not every single large empire has been included; instead I’ve attempted to keep the largest and most well known ones in.
