Episode 1
An omnibus edition of the objects and artefacts that tell the history of the world.
The first programme looks at some of the earliest objects in the Museum - and how they made us human.
A History of the World is a partnership between the 麻豆社 and the British Museum that focuses on world history, involving collaborations between teams across the 麻豆社, and schools, museums and audiences across the UK. The project focuses on the things we have made, from flint to mobile phone.
The first omnibus broadcast looks at some of the earliest objects in the Museum - some of which are two million years old - and how they made us human. It examines the Olduvai chopping tool and handaxe from what is now Tanzania, a 13,000-year-old carving of a reindeer, and a spear from the earliest North American settlement.
