Sorry, we can't find any suggestions at the moment.
Scientists from the mid-19th century have searched for the fossil remains of the "missing link" in evolution--the half-man, half-ape that would explain where mankind came from. But over the last century and a half, it has been the idea of what a missing link is that has evolved. The history of this scientific quest--peopled with fanatics, frauds, amateurs, professionals, the lucky, the unlucky, the unfairly neglected and the undeservedly praised--is the subject of this documentary. Reenactments depict scientists making their discoveries and then stretch back hundreds of thousands, even millions, of years to depict the typical lives of our human and human-like ancestors. Interviews with leading scientists fill in the details.

| User ReviewAlex A80/100. The effort made to recreate the time periods examined in this film is quite commendable. Meticulously detailed and always fascinating, it is a wonderfully informative documentary. I am sure the crazy religious right would have a cow watching this, but they are about as antique as cro-magnon man anyway. This factual account of the development of ape to man is amazingly well done. |
