How could anyone doubt the wonders of Natural Selection after seeing this? I bought it to show to my High School Biology classes. They were fascinated. Several asked is this REALLY true? Seems to me that if we show them the science these students might just question the version they hear at church. Wouldn't it be nice if the creationists were asked to supply really strong evidence?

I would recommend this to anyone who has an open mind and a curiosity about the origin of our species.

Really love early human development doc's, and this one is superb. A must see if there ever was one. The odds of finding a skeleton from this period, this complete, was astronomical. How they do their analysis from this find beats any detective story you will ever read. Most enjoyable!

...keeps changing. 4.4 million year old skeleton, a million years older than Lucy, shows us just how far back mankind has been walking. A wonderful peek into how science works - 17 years of work to find the clues in "Ardi" and to understand the world in which she lived in. A new look at our evolution - how early did walking develop? If Ardi was NEVER a knuckle walker who did SHE evolve from? If she both climbed and walked, in a forest, around 4.4 million years ago how far back will we have to look to find our missing link? The first ape to stand up and walk? Another million? Two million?

AMAZING!
