Broadcast (2010) Dr Alice Roberts travels the globe to discover the incredible story of how humans left Africa to colonise the world -- overcoming hostile terrain, extreme weather and other species of human. She pieces together precious fragments of bone, stone and new DNA evidence and discovers how this journey changed these African ancestors into the people of today.

Alice travels to Africa in search of the birthplace of the first people. They were so few in number and so vulnerable that today they would probably be considered an endangered species. So what allowed them to survive at all? The Bushmen of the Kalahari have some answers -- the unique design of the human body made them efficient hunters and the ancient click language of the Bushmen points to an early ability to organise and plan.

Humans survived there, but Africa was to all intents and purposes a sealed continent. So how and by what route did humans make it out of Africa? Astonishing genetic evidence reveals that everyone alive today who is not African descends from just one successful, tiny group which left the continent in a single crossing, an event that may have happened around 70 thousand years ago. But how did they do it? Alice goes searching for clues in the remote Arabian Desert.

@GabeTheVirginQueen Sorry to disagree.

There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.

She should have worn a hat in that sun.

The first attractive English woman I have seen for a while. Just shows what English women could look like if they looked after themselves a bit and what they could be like if they read a book or two.

This documentary tells us the same story, larger (in three episodes), which began Dr. Spencer Wells (earlier this decade) titled "The human journey", even the title is quite similar, and "The Human Family Tree". I think Nat.Geo. lengthened the story and put a pretty face to make more "marketable" the same history.

Anyway great job, although be the same history again.
