Lucy. Episode 3

Description

At the Prehistoric Autopsy HQ in Glasgow, anatomist professor Alice Roberts and biologist Dr George McGavin go on an extraordinary evolutionary journey to meet three of our ancient ancestors. They travel the globe to gather evidence from leading scientists and work with model makers to reconstruct our predecessors-revealing how they lived and differences to modern humans. In Episode 3, the team recreates 3.2 million year old child Lucy and learns how Australopithecus afarensis traded life in the trees for walking, what they ate, how they gave birth, and the origins of childcare.
