Asteroids - Deadly Impact

Today on Far Future Horizons we present - Asteroids: Deadly Impact. 

This documentary concerns the pioneering work of Gene and Carolyn Shoemaker and how their research provided compelling evidence that asteroid and comet impacts played a major role in shaping our planet. Over the course of eons these impacts not only brought the building block of life to our planet but also played a major role in shaping and altering the evolutionary course of life on our planet.

Is There a Superior Race?

Today on Far Future Horizons we present Morgan Freeman’s Through the Wormhole and explore the contentious and polarizing questions of racial differences and racial superiority.

What are the biological differences between different races? Genetic anthropologists have discovered that up to 7 percent of our genes have mutated to new forms in the past 50,000 years. These changes are not just related to skin and eye colour, but also to our bones, our digestive systems, and even our brains. Some of these genetic mutations are specific to certain racial groups.

Stone Age Atlantis

Satellite view of Northwest Europe - showing Britain as an Island (the land that once joined Britain to the rest of Europe has been destroyed by a tsunami)

Melting ice, rising seas and a huge tsunami heads for the coast. These are not headlines from the twenty first century. But they are stories from prehistory. Today, we worry about the effects of global warming, but humans have lived though eras of extreme climate change before. During the Middle Stone Age, the world's seas were rising far more rapidly than today.

Today on Far Future Horizons we present the story of a vanished kingdom - a Stone Age Atlantis.

Earth Under Water

Today on Far Future Horizons we explore one of the major catastrophic scenarios predicted by climate change models – Rising sea levels.

Through cutting-edge CGI, this National Geographic documentary explores the potential effects of sea level rise on our civilization over the next few centuries.
