From Big Bang to Man
Five chapters trace the story of everything, from the Cassiopeia Project's plain-spoken science series: the birth of the universe, its present structure, the origin and evolution of life, the first humans, and the spread of modern humans across the globe. Chapter one covers how atoms formed and galaxies assembled; chapter two turns to the present-day cosmos and how our solar system took shape within it. The middle chapter follows life on Earth from its earliest forms through the long process of evolution, using diagrams and narration rather than dramatization to keep the mechanics clear. The final two chapters pick up the human lineage at mitochondrial Eve, the common ancestor shared by everyone alive today, and follow the migration of humankind out from that point to populate the planet. The series keeps a consistent, unadorned visual style throughout, built to make each concept legible on its own before moving to the next, so a viewer can watch any single chapter without needing the rest.
