This first season of The Human History Podcast brings us back to the ancients: those earliest civilizations which are responsible for the shape of the world as it is today as much as anything that's happened since. We travel back through time and around the globe as we explore peoples from the Sumerians to the Mayans to the Indus Valley and more. This trip through ancient history is hosted by James Baldwin, who's primary interest is in history, economics, and politics. James is neither a historian nor an archaeologist. No academic lectures here. Just a general interest in the story of us.more Producer/Network James Baldwin
