Story4.5 out of 5 stars 42
By Steppe, Desert, and Ocean is nothing less than the story of how humans first started building the globalized world we know today. Set on a huge continental stage, from Europe to China, it is a tale covering more than 10,000 years, from the origins of farming around 9000 BC to the expansion of the Mongols in the 13th century AD.

Problematic Pronunciation
Reviewed: 11-09-22
The narrator’s unconventional pronunciation of names and terms meant at times, I was only able to understand what she was referring to toward the end of the section.
Also, the monotonous tone and pace meant I had to be alert to notice a change in topic.
Overall, a disappointing listen.

Original & Flawless
Reviewed: 08-21-17
A brilliantly original story, beautifully written, and a flawless performance.
I was sorry that it did not explore more of the African history, and some or the other longer term relationships in more depth, but this doesn't detract from the story.
