NOVA - Dawn of Humanity

Seizoen: 42 - Aflevering: 0 / 896 - Eerst uitgezonden: Onbekend - Episode ID: 1098607

NOVA and National Geographic present exclusive access to an astounding discovery of ancient fossil human ancestors. Located in an almost inaccessible chamber deep in a South African cave, the site required recruiting a special team of experts slender enough to squeeze through a maze of passages. They have brought to light an unprecedented wealth of fossils belonging to a crucial gap in the record of our origins that spans the transition between the ape-like australopithecines (such as the famous Lucy) and the earliest members of the human family. At the center of the discovery is paleoanthropologist Lee Berger, a big character, brimming with enthusiasm and opinions, whose claims have stirred long controversy in the contentious field of human origins. Join NOVA as we solve a two million year-old "crime scene" and dig into extraordinary new clues about what made us human.
