Summary
In this classic program, Horizon looks at discoveries about where modern man originated. Most scientists hold that modern man came from Africa, and some believe that everyone in the world today is descended from a single woman who lived in Africa 300,000 years ago. This program probes the "molecular clock" theory, which maintains that a new people evolved in Africa, and only a few thousand years have passed since they ventured into the rest of the world. All individuals carry around a library of information in their cells, and recent advances in medical science make it possible to decode this information, often with startling results.
