  Nova [#3614]
  Becoming Human: Birth of Humanity
  In gripping forensic detail, the second program investigates the first skeleton that really looks like us - "Turkana Boy" - an astonishingly complete specimen of Homo erectus found by the famous Leakey team in Kenya. These ancestors are thought to have developed key innovations such as hunting, use of fire and extensive social bonds. Nova examines a theory that it was long-distance running - our ability to jog - that was not only crucial for the survival of these early hominids on grasslands filled with vicious predators, but also gave them a unique hunting strategy: chasing and running down prey, such as deer or antelope, to the point of exhaustion. "Turkana Boy" also marks the first time in human evolution that there is strong evidence of an extended period of childhood and parenting. As anthropologist and primatologist Sarah Hardy explains, "Because they had longer childhoods, there was a wonderful opportunity for big brains to evolve." New analyses of fossil bones and teeth are giving us direct evidence of how, why and when humans' uniquely long childhood and parenting began and how the empathy of the family bond got started and why it proved vital. duration 56:31   STEREO DVI TVPG

In what is the most unlikely survival story of World War II, the Airmen's hopes of escape were left in the hands of the eccentric Major Harrisson who orchestrated their rescue by building a bamboo runway deep in the Borneo interior. duration 54:47   CC STEREO DVI TVPG
