Thank you sincerely.
Having seen the video (I put it on fast forward) it's... okay. They do mention some of the larger groups but mix in cultures with civilizations and completely ignore what's happening in China and other places that could be mentioned. They present it all without good references to siting the areas in time (using those seconds to make "funny remarks" instead of opting for education) - it would be lots clearer if they sectioned it off by time.
...and picky me can figure other ways that they might have made it a better piece. HOWEVER, that's just a "Listverse" video and they'll hook up things without making full context. I might show it to a high school class or a middle school class as an introduction but I wouldn't show it to a college class on history.
