What Happened Before History?

It’s the story of humans, from the time our distant ancestors dropped from the trees and started walking up right to the relatively brief period we call recorded history. We had a lot to do to get where we are, like learning to deal with tools and fire, but most of all, each other. There were many important systems to develop, like cooperation, communication, education, organization, and civilization.

This brief overview of humanity from Kurzgesagt (previously at Neatorama) covers a lot of ground quickly, in bright, colorful animation. We’ve come a long way. -via Digg

I suppose the kids are outside and all but I'm not sure I buy that it's great that their "imaginative play" is essentially directed by (and almost confined by the structure to) a multi-million dollar grossing movie series and associated toys. (A movie which, by the by, had no good or important or fun parts for girls to play -- granted, assuming the kids were flexible enough, girls could "fan fic" in their own characters -- but I kind of prefer that big, permanent playthings be more neutral.
