Stand eye-to-eye with evolution.

How did our ancestors come to invent language, to shape the world with tools, to create art and to imagine the future? The award-winning team behind Walking With Dinosaurs and Walking With Prehistoric Beasts brings you this missing link in the story of life on our planet.

Follow your family tree all the way back - to Australopithicus afarensis, the first of our primate ancestors to stand on two legs. See the first sparks of reason in the early humans as they learn to adapt in an ever-changing world. Trace the evolution of basic human traits like compassion, friendship and love. And make your way across the frozen wastelands of ice age Europe with the Neanderthals who dominate the planet...until they are finally forced to concede it to Homo Sapiens.
