Now I was a great fan of the series A History of the World in 100 Objects, which was presented by Neil MacGregor.
It first went out on Radio 4 back in 2010, and this repeat of the series shouldn't be missed.
I plan to listen to all five of the 100 tomorrow, including episode 3, The Olduvai Handaxe, Making Us Human (2,000,000 - 9000 BC).
"The Director of the British Museum, Neil MacGregor, retells two million years of history of human development through the objects it has produced.
This programme follows early humans as they slowly begin to move beyond their African homeland taking with them one essential item - a handaxe.
In the presence of the most widely used tool humans have created, Neil sees just how vital to our evolution this sharp, ingenious implement was and how it allowed the spread of humans across the globe.
Today Neil MacGregor tells the story of the handaxe, with contributions from designer Sir James Dyson and archaeologist Nick Ashton"*
