200,000 Years Of Human History In One Hour

From Kurzgesagt, an hour-long animated music video that shows all of human history in an hour.

So here’s an experiment: every second, 2 generations or 50 years will pass. You are on a musical train ride looking out the window, as you watch our ancestors hunt large animals, tell stories around campfires, and slowly spread around the globe. Experience all of human history in one hour. You can have this in the background, study with it, or just enjoy the ride. From time to time, I’ll say a few words.

It's a real shame that Kurzgesagt tie their often very good videos to this effective altruism crap (the GiveWell preroll, in this case). Since they've gone full mask-off I haven't been able to watch their stuff.
