BBC Four - Europe: A Natural History, Taming the Wild

Natural history documentary series about the events that shaped the continent of Europe.

Sean Pertwee chronicles the events which shaped the continent of Europe. This edition looks at the rapid transformation of the land over the last 10,000 years.

Sean Pertwee narrates a series chronicling the events which shaped the continent of Europe as we now know it.

In the last 10,000 years Europe has been transformed from a largely forested, virgin landscape into the manicured continent we know today, and at an ever-accelerating rate. As mankind's influence spread, animals were tamed, seeds planted, forests decimated and minerals excavated. How did wildlife cope with these drastic changes and what impact did they have on ourselves?

Knowledge, arts, music and culture from the UK and the world.

BBC Four reflects arts, music and culture with an ambitious range of intellectually and culturally enriching programmes, taking an expert and in-depth approach to its subjects.
