Broadcast (2010) When our species first arrived in Europe, the peak of the Ice Age was approaching and the continent was already crawling with a rival: stronger, at home in the cold and even (contrary to the popular image) brainier than us. So how did the European pioneers survive first the Neanderthals and then the deep freeze as they pushed across the continent?

Alice Roberts reconstructs the head of the 'first European' to come face to face with one of our ancestors; she discovers how art became crucial for survival in the face of Neanderthal competition; and what happened to change the skin colour of these European pioneers. Finally, spectacular new finds on the edge of Europe suggest that the first known temples may have been a spark for a huge revolution in our ancestors' way of life -- agriculture.

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.

What happened to the close captions? I referred this series to a deaf friend of mine. In Parts I & 2 they were working fine. In Part 3 here, she'll be out of luck. Please get them working for the entire series.

@WEQuake1

97% of what discoveries? Knowledge has been passed down through the ages from all regions, China, India, Greece, Persia etc. Humanity is built on communities/peoples sharing knowledge.

@Roleren, understanding punctuation helps with reading comprehension. Knowing how to recognize question marks could possibly be useful to you.

[Roleren]

@BlowDevilUp Yes we do, search up the Neaderthal genom project

Thank you so much for posting these documentaries!

that turkish taxi driver is rather famous around foreigners who come to Turkey for filming. i also saw him anthony bourdain's no reservations.

I find him annoying too and i am turkish. he is not speaking arabic. he repeats the word allah allah.

i wish i never saw him i was having such a good time and his stupidness is just a constant reminder of changing face of my county.

what a bummer..
