Big History Project

A Story for Everyone

The Big History Project is a free, online course that tells the story of our Universe and humanity.

Explore 13.7 billion years of shared history and consider the big questions about our Universe, our planet, life, and humanity. From the big bang to modern day to where we are going in the future, big history covers it all.

The Big History Project is ultimately about understanding our shared history

Big history is a story everyone should know. 
It's a universal, scientific origin story that is relevant to anyone and everyone.
