 Brief History Humanity Humour Pictures War Sex Intrigue Church Religion

As much as one would like to be able to tell the history of mankind, it is so extensive, complex and filled with details that this is a nearly impossible task. So here it is, the history of the human race, in pictures.

For me, this voyage through time was terribly interesting for two main reasons:

- I had never before seen such a good summary;
- I think I'm able to indentify four main tendencies that repeat themselves cyclically through time: war, women, sex and intrigue.

... Or is it just me?

Yes! Fantastic show of the true reality when you strip mankind down to the bone: sex, war, violence, "progress".

Marvellous.

I,myself draw and think things like that.
But my skills,are way back.It needs time,it's still
evolving.

It was hell of a feeling seeing,and 'studing' what you drew.

Time for more work,for me.

No,I don't know that name or that man.

But that's not the point here,is it? :)
It's about the drawings first.

He is an italian comics creator. But you're right, the drawings first and before that, the idea.
Very good, I believe...
