Jared Diamond’s 2005 PBS documentary series examines why certain civilizations advanced technologically while others did not. Rather than attributing global power imbalances to racial superiority, Diamond argues that geography and natural resources shaped human history. He traces how populations in the Middle East’s fertile crescent gained advantages through native crops and domesticable animals, which they carried to Europe and North Africa. These geographical benefits eventually enabled the development of advanced technology and military power that allowed European societies to dominate other regions, aided by diseases like smallpox that devastated indigenous populations.

This two-disc DVD set runs two hours and forty-five minutes and features Diamond alongside narrator Peter Coyote, directed by Cassian Harrison and Tim Lambert. The series is unrated and based on Diamond’s bestselling book of the same name. Own this thought-provoking exploration of civilization’s origins on physical media at a used price.
