The Incredible Human Journey
Dr Alice Roberts travels the globe to discover the incredible story of how humans left Africa to colonize the world - overcoming hostile terrain, extreme weather and other species of human. She pieces together precious fragments of bone, stone and new DNA evidence and discovers how this journey changed these African ancestors into the people of today.
“The differences between us are really just superficial. We’re all members of a young species that goes about last 200.000 years. And we’re all surprisingly closely related. This is the story that is emerged from the study of stones, bones, and all genes. That whereever we’ve ended up, all over the world, we’re Africans under the skin. And uncovering that story, we tracing the steps of our ancestors. That’s giving me a profound sense of a common humanity. I share past, I share future.” (Alice Roberts)
