Older Than Morning

The history of the Earth, told gently, so you can sleep through it. 

Long, slow, factual accounts of the deep past — forests learning to stand up, continents coming apart, the first flowers, the animals that were here before us. Told quietly, at a pace meant for the end of the day.

Nothing here ends badly. Every episode closes on what came next, extinctions are told from the far side of them, and there is no jeopardy, no countdown and nothing waiting in the dark. You already know how it turns out, which is exactly the state of mind for going to sleep.

Every factual claim traces to a named, published source, and the sources are listed under each video. Where scientists are still arguing, the episode says so.

One voice. One palette. Two videos a week at most.

Best with the lights off.
