Who are we? 

Who are we and where did we come from? In these articles, we talk about humans throughout history, how human and natural history are intertwined, and humans as part of the earth and ecosystems. Some articles are about great civilizations, others about evolution, the wanderings of our forebears, our closest relatives, remarkable people, culture, and our place in and impact on the natural world.
