Mankind: The Story of All of Us 12 (final) - "New Frontiers"

Mankind takes on godlike powers: to feed billions of people, reshape the landscape, re-engineer the human body. However, World War II devastated the human population. Amidst the chaos, Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan create massive empires across Europe and Asia. The United builds roads in Alaska. The greatest power of all was unleashed over Hiroshima on August 6th 1945. The Civil Rights movement takes place in the 1960's. Since entering the Atomic Age we've been living between eternity and oblivion. But at the same time, we've become more connected as a species. 100,000 years ago there were a few thousand hunter-gatherers on the African savannah. Today there are 7 billion of us in every corner of the globe. It's been an amazing journey.
