Broadcast (2010) In this programme, the journey continues into Asia, the world's greatest land mass, in a quest to discover how early hunter-gatherers managed to survive in one of the most inhospitable places on earth,the Arctic region of Northern Siberia. Alice meets the nomadic Evenki people, whose lives are dictated by reindeer, both wild and domesticated, and discovers that the survival techniques of this very ancient people have been passed down through generations.

Alice also explores what may have occurred during human migration to produce Chinese physical characteristics, and considers a controversial claim about evolution; that the Chinese do not share the same African ancestry as other peoples.

There are seven billion humans on earth, spread across the whole planet. Scientific evidence suggests that most of us can trace our origins to one tiny group of people who left Africa around 70,000 years ago. In this five-part series, Dr Alice Roberts follows the archaeological and genetic footprints of our ancient ancestors to find out how their journeys transformed our species into the humans we are today, and how Homo sapiens came to dominate the planet.

How did we get here? Following a trail of clues from the latest scientific research. Dr Alice Roberts re-traces the greatest ever journey taken by our ancestors, she travels the globe to discover the incredible story of how early humans left Africa to colonise the world.

@carterCMG Nothing sexier than a hot scientist . . . without a doubt!

[AtrumMixer]

Yes very interesting lifestyle. But I think we should inform the Evenki people about the importance of Feminism, Multiculturism and Anti-Fascism. I think that's very important.

Beautiful and Smart... I Respect this lady

@HinduismIsHeretical Except, she has a PhD in Paleopatholgy as well as being a medical doctor, which makes her a scientist.

[HinduismIsHeretical]

@Swidhelm If you are referring to the narrator she is actually a medical doctor, not a scientist.

[HinduismIsHeretical]

I love the racist undertones of this series LOL

@FreeTibetChinaOUT The Y chromosome is hereditary in the male line and the other in the female line. So, if I mistake, in ancient societies women often leave the original village when they married. But the man would continue in the same town, keeping the same Y chromosome all of his descendants, in the same tribe over generations.

That Chinese genetic scientist was such an amazing person for putting aside the pride (and sometimes arrogance) that exists in his culture. He is a real scientist because he can, as Carl Sagan once put it, "follow the truth, no matter how unsettling it may seem"

@Swidhelm Two hot scientists and an idea
