Watch this marvelous animation that summarizes humanity in five minutes

Director Fabio Friedli animated 3,000 images to tell the story of humanity "from a seed to war, from meat to love, from indifference to apocalypse."

"It is such an excessive amount of things, shown in such a short time, you are never able to perceive everything," Friedli told Vimeo. "I like to believe it's one's subconscious that chooses what you see, hear and feel, depending on what is occupying your head and heart at the moment. No one has the same first 'In A Nutshell' experience."
