Five million years ago, an animal emerged whose life was
shaped by thought as well as instinct. Somewhere in the evolutionary process, this
creature became human—but how? In this program, a variety of experts trace the course
of climatic changes, genetic mutations, and behavioral developments that led to the moment
when hominid became Homo sapiens. Stunning dramatizations of early hominid life complement
the discussion of such leading authorities as Drs. Ian Tattersall, curator of the American
Museum of Natural History; Ralph Holloway, Professor of Anthropology at Columbia
University; Peter Underhill, a geneticist at Stanford University; and Richard Potts,
director of the Smithsonian Institution’s Human Origins Program. A Discovery Channel
Production. (52 minutes, color)
