Anyone else watching this documentary? Stephan Fry is narrating it. Quite interesting so far.

I actually sat in on a world history seminar a few hours ago and it was talked about for a little while.  I haven't seen any of it but everyone there seemed to have a very positive reaction to the documentary.

Yeah, its on the History channel at the moment. The only thing I would say that they kind of skipped over a big chunk of history, starting from when Man was using spears and fire in Africa, then jumping to when the first wolves were being domesticated towards the end of the Ice Age right to the start of the Iron Age. Which is somewhat understandable, because there's only a few episodes to cover 100,000 years of human history. But still a show to watch.
