Origins

World War I begins with the armies planning to fight each other on horseback. It ends in battles that involve machine guns and planes and tanks. You see some of the most horrifying weapons ever deployed. Statistically, we are less violent as a species than any time in our history?yet we seem to be in a constant state of war. Is this a disastrous flaw in humanity, or do humans need war to evolve? From primitive massacres to modern day superpowers, this is the story of how we have waged war and won peace, and how those battles continue to push us into the future. This is Origins.
