From Stone Axe to the Roman Empire

A History of Globalisation

Available for over a year

Series about the history of globalisation. Today, how it all started with the Stone Age hand axe. It was such a good solution to many everyday problems of survival that it spread around the world as Homo sapiens began the epic migration 90,000 years ago from southern Africa. And then the Romans and Chinese began to globalise the ancient world.
