The history of human civilization is an astonishing story of migration, innovation, and social development. Now, the exciting new field of “big history” allows us to explore human civilizations in ways unavailable to historians of previous generations. Big history scholars take a multidisciplinary approach to study great spans of time, unlocking important themes, trends, and developments across time and space.
Unlike a traditional survey of history - with its focus on dates and events, kings and battles - The Big History of Civilizations is your chance to apply this cutting-edge historical approach to the epic story of humanity around the world. Taught by acclaimed Professor Craig G. Benjamin of Grand Valley State University, these 36 sweeping lectures trace the story of human civilizations from our emergence as a species, through the agricultural and industrial revolutions, and into the future.
It only takes a few minutes of one lecture for you to discover that Big History is an amazing approach to history. Its grand vision will give you powerful new insights into human civilization, and it offers a profound analysis of some of our biggest questions: What makes us human? Where did we come from? And where are we going? There may be no easy answers, but Professor Benjamin takes you on a powerful journey to the limits of our understanding.
What differentiates big history from any other field is the way it combines divergent fields, from archaeology and anthropology to ecology and philosophy, and ties them together, allowing you to see patterns of our past, present - and even future. From the just-right “Goldilocks factors” that allow civilizations to emerge to different ways civilizations have emerged across time and around the word, this riveting approach to history offers a multidisciplinary toolkit to tell the story about what makes us human.

I downloaded this previously, and I’m on my third listen. Along with David Christian’s Big History (also available on ABB), which takes an even broader view, this has been one of the best audiobooks / courses I have ever listened to. Not only has it helped fill in large gaps in my knowledge of history, and helped show the connections and broad trends in history more narrow studies don’t, but the two courses together have also led to a profound shift in perspective for me on life, human civilization and our place in the larger scheme of things. Cannot recommend this highly enough.
