The Anthropology of Game of Thrones



Hey! Welcome back to another installment of Trey the Explainer! In light of the upcoming premier of the final season of Game of Thrones, I took the time to have a detailed examination and speculation of the paleontology, prehistory, and anthropology of Westeros and Essos in George RR Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire World. In this video I discuss the various fictional races of the world and try to create a biological and evolutionary tree based off the information given in the books. We will try answer questions like: where do Humans come from? And What are the White Walkers exactly? Hope you enjoy!
