The history of the world according to rats | Max G. Levy

Today, rats are often regarded as the most successful invasive species in the world. The most common species of rat scurried onto the scene roughly 1 to 3 million years ago in Asia. There, they craftily survived Earth’s most recent ice age, and eventually, began living around and with humans— though often at the mercy of human priorities. Max G. Levy traces the entangled history of human and rat. [Directed by Denys Spolitak, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by Jarrett Farkas].
