History of the anthropoid. Search for beginning
Description
Curiosity is often the driving force behind great discoveries. In this program, Friedemann Schrenk teams up with Meave Leakey to examine fossil specimens recovered at Lake Turkana, Lothagam, and Kanapoi, where they discuss the relationships between Australopithicus afarensis, A. boisei, and Homo habilis. Dr. Schrenk also visits the Nairobi Museum, the Anatomical Institute in Dar es Salaam, and Ngorongoro National Park. In addition, a meeting at Witwatersrand University to analyze recent findings brings Schrenk and Leakey together with a veritable who's who of paleoanthropology: Phillip Tobias, Tim White, Berhane Asfaw, and Michel Brunet.
