I wonder why historians have had so little interest in this theme:man walking this planet.
Our species is named "sapiens" - the thinking(?) but coud as well be called the biped.For the vast majority of humans who have ever beenprobaby into at least 20.th century, exept on water), their two legs were the tools for movement.
Fortunately early man could reach every part of the planets land mass by walking (including at least at some period the americas), exept a few percent.
I think this easily could lead to alse ideas about eary mobility and communication, because we "modern" people ingeneral, and not least academics do not need to use our feet that much. Travelling hundreds or thousends of kiometres(or miles) on our two legs seems almost impossible, so it is easy for us to assume earlyhistorical and prehistorical peoples lived rather isolated.Yet history is fullof "long marches" even over vast parts of continents, and probably there has allways been - at least since our ncestors became "bipeds"- ong before they became real humans.

Why do you keep interrupting the video on your shows with a graphic telling me what show I'm watching and what show is on tomorrow? It is very distracting and it looks like you think your audience is a bunch of mindless fools.
So stop it already!
