Series 1: 1. The First of Us
The extraordinary story of how the human species, Homo sapiens, first emerged, where the discoveries of recent years are revolutionising the understanding of humanity's origin story.\n\nIn Morocco, it's revealed that Homo sapiens are 100,000 years older than previously thought. The species was nearly wiped out by violent climate change but clung on against the odds. And in a cave in Botswana, evidence of complex rituals reveal how Homo sapiens culture was flourishing in ways that still shape humanity today.
