10 Essential Shows You Need To Watch On Disney+
5. Origins: The Journey Of Humankind
National Geographic have a lot of great documentaries on Disney+, but The Journey of Humankind is undoubtedly the best of the bunch.
Origins documents the technological and cultural evolution of humanity, charting our species' fragile rise from our simian ancestry to the world-conquerors we are today, blending gorgeous live action reconstructions with chats with experts.
Not afraid to contemplate the darker aspects of contemporary life, Origins asks viewers to consider what money truly means in our civilisation and forces us to consider the drawbacks of mass communication, and how our reliance on the internet might come back to bite us.
Covering our species' discovery of fire through modern warfare and looking toward what the future may bring, Origins is a thought-provoking exploration into how humanity got to where we are now, and what our history can tell us about our possible futures.
