5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful introduction to the science of Human evolution, September 14, 2000

By

This review is from: Dawn of Man - The Story of Human Evolution, Vol. 1-3 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Just received my 3-tape set of "Dawn of Man, adventures in Human evolution", a BBC/TLC co-production. I watched the American televised version (which I taped) some time back, but this expanded British version (almost 300 minutes) is just too good to keep quiet about:

* solid science, Prof. Leslie C. Aiello is an expert explainer without once being condescending

* right up to date

* beautiful filmwork and production

* stunning sound score by English electronic composer Paul Lawler

Highly recommended!

If you have even a passing interest in evolution and/or paleo-anthropology, this is not to be missed.

Every school child and adult should watch this series! Because humans evolved relatively recently, we are blessed with a large amount of transitional fossils. The companion book helps a lot!

The content is good, when it is being presented. Far too much time is wasted on long fuzzy shots only vaguely illustrating the content, with dramatic music and no narration.
