Three years in the making, and filmed in 31 countries and on six continents, the BBC’s Civilisations series questions what lies at the heart of identity – and what makes us human. Civilisations presenters Beard and Olusoga will discuss the ideas underlying their respective contributions to the series to uncover what we now think ‘civilisation’ is, and our stake in the very idea of it.
