Description: Background to the Channel 4 Millennium Series ‘The Day the World Took Off’, shown in 2000. With thanks to Windfall Films.

In an Australian woodland setting, Alan Macfarlane describes the usual types of human civilizations - hunters, tribesmen, peasants and industrialists - and the way in which Australia went rapidly from the first to the fourth without going through the middle two.
