Homo sapiens. Look into distant mirror

Description

Where did Homo sapiens come from? How did they interpret their world? And what did they think and feel? This program seeks to profile modern humankind's distant forerunners through the research of ethnologists Bernard Saladin D'Anglure and Valentina Gorbatcheva, archaeologist Sergei Vassiliev, historian Jean Clottes, linguist Merritt Ruhlen, anthropologist Bernard Vandermeersch, geneticist Michael Hammer, and ethnoarchaeologist Polly Wiessner. Prehistoric caves in southern France; the oldest-known human tombs, in Israel; "fossil words"; the genealogy of the Y-chromosome; and other topics serve as portals to the past.
