brief illustrated history of mankind

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?
