Becoming Human: Unearthing Our Earliest Ancestors (180 min; 2011; dvd; English)

A three-part series of films by Graham Townsley produced by NOVA (USA).

 

Nothing is more fascinating to us than, well, us. Where did we come from? What makes us human? NOVA’s groundbreaking investigation explores how new discoveries are transforming views of our earliest ancestors. Featuring interviews with world-renowned scientists, footage shot “in the trenches” as fossils were unearthed, and stunning computer-generated animation, Becoming Human brings early hominids to life, examining how they lived and how we became the creative and adaptable modern humans of today
