The Human Spark | Becoming Us | Wear Grandma's Teeth | PBS

http://www.pbs.org/humanspark Alan Alda vists the rock shelter of Abri Castanet in Southwest France, where he is shocked to learn about some of our ancestors' early behaviors. "And we're descendents of these people?!"

In "The Human Spark," Alan Alda visits dozens of scientists on three continents -- and even undergoes an examination of his own brain -- to find the answer to one question: What makes us human? Coming to PBS over three Wednesdays: January 6, 13, and 20, 2010 (check local listings). Learn more, and tell us what YOU think makes us human at http://www.pbs.org/humanspark

Alan was having fun but managed to slip in some important questions. I'm sure he was amused to hear that the some conclusions are actually "free interpretations."

How the heck did those stone age people manage to drill holes in the teeth? That's what I want to know.
