The unix history repo on GitHub has every commit made from the day it was created until now.
Which is great for code historians but what I love is this video(only 59mins long) created with Gource Visualization. It shows how the commits and commiters interact. Starting with Ken Thompson and Dennis Richie and building with odd stops and spurts. Beautiful, it grows with almost organic grace from blobs and tree fronds to a glowing and pulsating amorphous coral like-blob.
It is not hard to imagine code trees with magnitudes more code becoming sentient.

UNIX existed long before modern version control
Impossible! GitHub is how people build software. There is no other way.

Yeah, but Unix wasn't built. It just evolved naturally.

There is no natural evolution!
There is only Scrum, Sprint, and Release Focus.
