Welcome to a remarkable expedition to the origins of mankind! Blazing the Trail is a five-episode podcast that the University of Wrocław was involved in producing. It was created through the combined efforts of Breakthru Films, the Australian Museum, the University of Sydney, the University of Wrocław and the University of Liverpool.

Focusing on what makes us human, Blazing the Trail discusses key stages in our history, which include the origins of tool use and evolution, the harnessing of fire, the emergence of language, or the ability to adapt to different natural conditions and the ability to migrate.
