Travel 6,000 years back in time in this eye-opening tour of Europe’s first inhabited areas. From the high mountains off the Greek coast to the Rock of Gibraltar, to Rome’s historic Coliseum, Wild Origins traces Europe’s human expansion and reveals how early civilizations created unique habitats that continue to exist today.
