A species odyssey

This is an extraordinary French film made as a result of the cooperation of the best anthropologists in the world. The Spanish collaboration came from the Atapuerca team, expert publicists of their discoveries in Spain. This documentary rated the highest levels of attendance when it was broadcasted in Spain, in June 2003, which shows that when scientists care of making their discoveries accessible, people prefer science to reality shows or full of clichés TV series. 

Here you have the first part in English:



And this is the full documentary in Spanish:

They are very well done and scientifically accurate. A good investment. If you like to read, you should read the series The Sons of the Earth, by Jean M. Auel. The first book is The Clan of the Cave Bear and it speculates with the possibility of a hybridization between the Neanderthals and the Sapiens Sapiens.

Good night!
