a pathetic attempt of whitewashing and only suitable for children 8 or below

Warning: Spoilers
i was excited about this documentary because of Nat Geo but saying just being disappointing is a sure understatement. Firstly, the author, within 10 minutes of the first episodes its clear that he's far far away from understanding what is coming out of his mouth Now about the content, oh and what to say about that, lets for one moment agree with the editor to focus on the main points. Fire, currency, war, shelter, medicine are all revolutionary points but it looks like its not about the whole earth but only Europe and some portion of north America. apart from China( that too minor mention) Asian countries were almost non existent, South America and Africa were not even mentioned, are you kidding, Mesopotamia, Indus valley and what not are not even mentioned once. its a show talking about Origins of humans from hunter gatherers to a civilized societies without even mentioning the first civilizations that ever existed. and about the time-lines what to say about them, don't know what the actual mistake of the creator was, not knowing an iota of the actual stuff and history or just whitewashing over them completely and presenting his own narrative.

recommend this show as a fantasy for children but guess what the violence will not suit them, pathetic attempt in name of a documentary..

p.s. Some visuals are nice..
