What is Origins? - Behind the Scenes | Origins: The Journey of Humankind

I want to take people out of their heads. I want origins to inject people with a sense of wonder. Origins is the journey of humankind. It's basically a show that reinvents the sort of historical epic from a modern perspective.

So, through a modern lens, we look back at our origins, essentially how we became who we became with episodes such as the origin of fire and how that made us human, or the origin of war, or the origin of medicine. How these were transformative pivotal events in human history.

So, essentially, the origins of what made us human. If people have seen brain games, they're obviously aware that I'm very passionate about making complex ideas accessible. I think when people watch origins, they're going to recognize a lot of what they've seen me doing on the web expanded into long-form.

The idea is to help people transcend the "been there and done that" of the adult's mind. The sense that we know it all, the sense that we've seen it all, the sense that we understand it all. It's gonna be like epic and explosive and heady and it's gonna blow people's minds. [Music]
