World History

This course offers a wide-angle lens on world history—starting not with kings, but with the universe itself. From the formation of space and time to the rise of human civilisation, you'll follow the story of life through reptiles, mammals, and eventually, early humans who dared to think, build, and believe.

Each module progresses naturally: cosmic birth, biological evolution, and the earliest steps of man—leading to mighty ancient civilisations. The result? A sweeping narrative that ties together species, survival, and society. It’s big history, boiled down into bite-sized, structured clarity, without any galactic exaggeration.
