This video, created by a young genius named Joe Bush for a high-school video production class, gives you a quick overview of life on earth from the dawn of time until the not so distant future when we destroy ourselves and return to space dust. Enjoy.
Also, as a funny sidebar, here's a dramatic edit of a SpongeBob Squarepants movie trailer featuring the exact same music, which is a piece called "Mind Heist" by Zack Hemsey and must be available with a Creative Commons license.
