Premieres January 21 at 9/8C
(120 min.)
The human species appeared on Earth about two million years ago and has been changing it ever since. What will Earth look like in the days, weeks, months, years and millennia after humans are gone? How long would it take for our edifices to crumble–all traces of us gone, to be replaced by primordial forests, wild boar, rare cranes in pristine marshes? The clues to the future are right here in the present but are illuminated when we look through the lens of history. Experts from all fields of science will paint the picture, and the destructions and resurrections will all be animated by the magic of George Lucas’ Industrial Light & Magic.

This upcoming special on the History Channel looks totally cool! I'm looking forward to it. I've always been a fan of "post-appocolyptic" stories, and this looks to be along those lines, although in more of a scientific vein.
This also makes me believe more than ever that it's possible that an advanced civilization of beings, (i.e. not necessarily human) could have existed here on Earth millions of years ago, and that is why in our time we see no evidence that they existed...or that we see some crumbled evidence, but that we don't recognize it's significance due to our own insufferable egotism.
