Ape-Man: Adventures In Human Evolution

Exodus (1x5)

Air date: Mar 21, 2000

The fifth program in a six-part series exploring evolution and the origins of human life. Tells how the discovery of bones, tools and artifacts at two archaeological sites on Africa's southern coast have helped scientists to calculate that people indistinguishable from the modern human species (Homosapiens) first appeared in Africa about 150,000 years ago. Explains why those early African beach-dwellers left their homeland to colonize other continents.
