Unit 8 Overview | Big History Project

In Unit 8 Expansion and Interconnection, we follow humans across both time and distance, as they get the travel bug. Travel was great for people learning new things, but the bug that traveled with them—a.k.a. the bubonic plague—was a deadly consequence of all this journeying. You’ll learn all about it in Unit 8, but watch this overview video first so you have a sense of what is being covered, and why.
