Big Bang to Man

I'm already missing Carl Sagan's Cosmos, so here is one of the most important clips from the whole series. It tells the tale of the big bang to the evolution of man, in about 4 minutes and is exactly how my own mind visualises the universe and human history!

When you are watching it bear in mind that no god created the universe, made the earth or started life. As Carl says, it is all a big accident! And also remember that all of our ancestors are dead and one day, we will ourselves join that illustrious group of organisms, that came, saw and returned to non-existence...
