Origins Of Us Episode 2 Guts (BBC)

Broadcast (2011) Dr Alice Roberts reveals how your body tells the story of human evolution. The way you look, think and behave is a product of a 6 million year struggle for survival. We have uncovered the secrets of the atom and travelled to the moon. But how did humans come to be so successful? This series explores the anatomical changes that have given us, and our ancestors, the edge. Everything from the way that we walk, to the shape of our jaw and even the way our thumbs move connects us intimately to the struggles and triumphs of our ancestors. Yet many of those changes have come at a surprising cost and the problems we face now are a direct consequence of our evolutionary journey. As much about our bodies today as about our bodies 6 million years ago, Origins of Us will change the way you see yourself.

its like ok we know your a vegetarian nobody cares

[disturbedanonymous]

@007mox See, your first premise is flawed. We didn't come FROM chimps, we shared a common ancestor. Before there were chimps and before there were humans, there was something else that gave rise to both lineages. Therefore, chimps came into existence the exact same way we did, by evolution.

I won't discuss your second premise about us being "the finest species in the universe" because what other creature has so degraded their habitat and has the ability to destroy our home planet?

So awesome - if docus like this one just were available when I struggled with my studies some years ago :- ) Please do keep up the remarkable work! It just makes me wanna press the LIKE a million times!

@penkallli Actually it does, if the new niche in the ecosystem the specie occupy is dependant on them having hands/thumbs. Humans didn't have as much use of 'hands' on our rear libs, because we didn't climb as much, but we were wholly reliant on having hands on our forelimbs. This hybrid approach was not already occupied by other species, so we could evolve to fill it. Trying to compete with other species at their own game is bound to result in failure.

"IT WAS COOKING THAT MADE US HUMAN!"

[geordiemilne]

"we are adapted to eating starchy foods.."

[geordiemilne]

We ate the same meat as Lions and it is likely we got our tape worm from them, 800000 to 1.7 million years ago..

@Superslemmet

It doesnt mean they will walk on 2 just because theres no forest, this makes no sense !
