Through CGI, recreations and expert interviews, National Geographic presents an epic account of 8,000 years in mankind's history—from man's emergence on the planet through his continued quest to dominate the world.

The Earth has witnessed the birth, growth and disappearance of numerous species. But one species, Homo sapiens, set off to conquer the world. Man hunted and domesticated animals, built cities and developed complex civilizations but also created war in his quest to dominate throughout time.
