    Money is tied to self-preservation because we need it to survive, we need it to live. Early man was always looking for allies, to exchange or to get the goods that they needed to survive. Money is the most successful story imagined by humans, because it's the only story everyone believes. From a simple act of trade to the greed for gold to today’s global economy, the meaning of money and what we value changes as civilization evolves. If modern money is a reflection of who we are, what does it say about us? This is ORIGINS. This image is from Origins: The Journey of Humankind.

    The great Mongol emperor ruled one of the vastest kingdoms that stretches from current day Myanmar in Burma to Hungary. How does Kublai Khan unify his vast kingdom? Through money. He starts issuing money, as Marco Polo says, out of the barks of trees. He issues his money, and issues it in paper. And by edict, he starts to spread this money throughout his vast kingdom. Money is the most successful story imagined by humans, because it's the only story everyone believes. From a simple act of trade to the greed for gold to today’s global economy, the meaning of money and what we value changes as civilization evolves.

    From the ice age, we have been fire creatures. Nothing else throughout human history explains our existence more than fire; it’s been harnessed and applied throughout countless centuries to define who we are and will become. Heat, nourishment, transportation, communication and annihilation, fire separated us from our simian ancestors and created communities, warriors, builders and explorers out of us.
