Synopsis

Animals and humans are part of a single chain of all living things, two poles of the living world. By looking deep into the past and reconstructing the ancient customs and rituals of various peoples of Europe and Asia, the authors seek answers to the following questions: How did human society originate? What made a human being truly human? Why did apes remain apes? Why do people kill their own kind with beastly cruelty? And why is it that only humans are capable of uniting through labor and collective creation?

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 3

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
