Ape-Man: Adventures In Human Evolution

First-Born (1x2)

Air date: Feb 29, 2000

The second program in a six-part series exploring evolution and the origins of human life. Tells how the discovery of a child's skeleton on the edge of the Kalahari Desert gave rise to the theory of a species that straddled the evolutionary boundary between humans and apes. Explores whether the Australopithecines or `upright apes' flourished because of their abandonment of a vegetarian diet.
