'the inspiration for carl sagans 1980 series, cosmos, jacob bronowskis 1973 series, the ascent of man, alludes to and seeks to somewhat challenge the notion of some of charles darwins conclusions in the decent of man. over the course of thirteen episodes, bronowski travelled around the world in order to trace the development of human society through its understanding of science.

"jacob bronowski was one of a small group of men and women in any age who find all of human knowledge-the arts and sciences, philosophy and psychology-interesting and accessible. he was not confined to a single discipline, but ranged over the entire panorama of human learning. his book and television series, the ascent of man, are a superb teaching tool and a remarkable memorial; they are, in a way, an account of how human beings and human brains grew up together." carl sagan, the dragons of eden'
