A world of inceasing natural disaster and interrupted hopes, yet one full of opportunity for our miraculous ancestors – the thinking ape. Join two-time Gemini-winning anthropologist Niobe Thompson on an astonishing journey back in time, as he pulls back the curtain on a world in constant, violent convulsion. From the climate shift that created the first running ape, to the emergence of a brain that changes itself, from the sexual union of humans and Neanderthals that gave us immunity to disease, to the prehistoric triumph of sea navigation that opened up three continents, Niobe treats the audience to fascinating discoveries and adrenaline-pumping adventure.
