Created and narrated by Professor Dagomar Degroot of Georgetown University, The Climate Chronicles reveals how climate change has shaped humanity’s past—and what history can tell us about the future of global warming. With clear, dramatic storytelling, each episode brings history to life through gripping narratives and cutting-edge science.
In the third episode of our first season, Becoming Human, Professor Degroot touches on everything from Noah's Flood to nuclear submarines in telling the strange, three-century-long history of the discovery of the Ice Age. Then, he explains why rapid climate changes of remarkable intensity threatened our ancestors in the world of the late Pleistocene Epoch.
The Climate Chronicles is really an audio book. The first season gives a unique overview not only of how climate change may have created our species, but also of the history of science that revealed our origins, and the creative detective work that climatologists, archaeologists, and geneticists use to dive into the deep past.
