Summary
Among scientists, Africa is the undisputed birthplace of humanity. But anthropologists are split into two camps over other questions. How many waves of Homo sapiens migrated out of Africa? Did other highly developed hominid species-such as Homo neanderthalensis-make the same journey? And to what extent did these populations mingle and compete with each other? This classic program presents differing viewpoints about the age and development of the Neandertal-and about how the vanished species figures in the story of modern humanity's rise. The film features prominent voices in the ongoing debate, including Milford Wolpoff, Chris Stringer, Lewis Binford, and others.
