Homo Sapiens: A Natural History [Part 1]
Presented by Dr. Jeff Hart, Naturalist and Writer
Have you ever wondered how humans came to be, where we as a species came from? Are we part of nature, or something special, apart from other life forms? Are we rational beings? What is the nature of our morality? Are we a social species that cares for one another, or self-centered primates seeking what is best for the individual? If so, then this four-part series is for you. In Part I, we explore how we became human, having evolved on the African savanna from other primates.
