I do not understand all the haters here. I think the show is very good and based on solid historical events which we know to be true such as the hearths found in Oregon dating back 10,000 years ago. The Bronze Age 7,000 years ago. The use of fireworks and spears combined by the Chinese to use as weapons to repel a Mongol attack in 1232 AD which led to the guns we have nowadays which allow neanderthals like Ted Nugent to be able to kill as many animals as he can even though he's just a wiry little runt who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. So this Origins series is very good and reminds me of the old British 'Connections' series, hosted by James Burke which first aired in 1979 here in Canada and the US.
