In which John Green investigates the dawn of human civilization. John looks into how people gave up hunting and gathering to become agriculturalists, and how that change has influenced the world we live in today. Also, there are some jokes about cheeseburgers.

Utterly.
This and Scishow. I’m going to show my teachers, and ask them if we can watch the series in class.
That was the most intriguing (spelling?) humanities class I have ever had.
Thanks John! You could teach my teachers something about teaching
I love how your laptop blends in with the surroundings by the way!
Ooh the Indus River Valley i learnt that in school about two years ago
It was great, but the great deal of jokes, made the actual historic information a puzzle that needed to be put together …amidst the many off-topic lines.
The whole video is awesome, including the intro which was just spot on!
I LEARNT SOMETHING AND DIDN’T FALL ASLEEP!!! IN FACT I CAN’T WAIT FOR MORE!!! CAPSLOCK IS FOR EXCITEMENT!
@beetlequeen The Pizza John shirt is red.
In the open letter segment I thought John was going to ask elephants why they hadn’t evolved to be puppy sized. Oh, well. This was beautifully informative.
DFTBA
Amazing, I learned more about agriculture in 11 min than 12 years of school. Can’t wait to learn more. DFTBA everyone!
Also, open letter to elephants and no mention of them being puppy-sized? Dx
@amorninggirl I am so sad and appalled at this! There need to be some sort of special place in Hell for crap teachers who don’t care.
so the things about the test… is that going to be on the test?
I think it would be so good for history teachers to use this in a class and then start up a discussion about it. For example, students have to sit in groups and discuss the various things that have changed due to the agricultural revolution.
Thank you for an interesting and informative first session, John! I look forward to learning more next week. DFTBA!
Ah-ma-zing
I’m loving the graphics used for this series.
Oh, and John’s presenting, too. But that goes without saying.
I will endeavor to read every book linked to in this course. DFTBA.
NEXT ONE! NEXT ONE!

I am so excited! you have no idea!
I’M ACTUALLY GONNA LEARN WORLD HISTORY THIS TIME AROUND. AND ENJOY IT. What is this nonsense?! Screw WHAP, I’m learning about the world in style
Get a red shirt, Green. Red is a power color. A red shirt on and this channel? You could rule the world.
What’s so good about being a cow? They are all enslaved by us humans. Elephants are lucky. DFTBA and GO VEGAN.
