From the Bosphorus Strait to the Atlantic Ocean, the ancient drama of human settlement unfolded in ways that are today both startling and mysterious. This two-part series illustrates the peopling of Europe, beginning with the wanderings of prehuman hunter-gatherers and culminating with the appearance of the wheel and written language. Numerous archaeological sites are featured along with expert interviews, animated maps, discussions of archaic climate change, and helpful close-up views of key artifacts. Portions are in other languages with English subtitles. 2-part series, 54 minutes each.
