This episode is from our YouTube series Story of the Noosphere.

A hundred thousand year experiment, carried out by the Earth Community, makes clear that major stages of humanity's development were set from our origin.

The experiment took place when Homo sapiens began to flow north out of Africa. Some veered to the west and populated Europe. Others turned right and crossed over into the Americas.

The key point is that for a hundred thousand years, the humans heading for Europe had utterly no contact with the humans trekking toward the Americas. And yet when they met, a hundred thousand years later, in the sixteenth century, they found that they had evolved through profoundly similar stages.

This suggests that humanity’s evolution has a cosmic significance, one we are only now beginning to understand.

As a word, "noosphere" is a loose synonym for three different meanings: the history and destiny of Homo sapiens; an emerging planetary nervous system, an emerging superorganism.

This series of short films explores the ways humanity is building the nervous system of a superorganism, called the noosphere. Our series is narrated and hosted by Brian Thomas Swimme
