Sean Pertwee narrates a series chronicling the events which shaped the continent of Europe as we now know it.

In the last 10,000 years Europe has been transformed from a largely forested, virgin landscape into the manicured continent we know today, and at an ever-accelerating rate. As mankind's influence spread, animals were tamed, seeds planted, forests decimated and minerals excavated. How did wildlife cope with these drastic changes and what impact did they have on ourselves?
