How did man come to be? Where did our human journey begin? In this Hindi documentary, we will understand the early story of human evolution on the basis of scientific evidence and fossil evidence.
We'll look at what the shared ancestor of humans and chimpanzees was, how our early ancestors got to walk on two legs, who Australopithecus afarensis and Lucy were, and what the nearly 3.6-million-year-old footprints found at Laetoli, Tanzania, tell us about human evolution.
Later in this documentary, we will also look at the mystery associated with stone tools and Homo habilis, which are about 2.6 million years old—who made the earliest stone tools?
One thing is most important in this whole story: human evolution is not a straight ladder, but an evolutionary tree with many branches. Based on scientific evidence, we will try to understand the early stages that later laid the foundation for the story of Homo sapiens.
