Human beings appear to be unique amongst mammals – we live in huge cities, we walk on two legs and we have language. But how far have we really come from our mammal heritage? Are we really as different as we think from other mammals? To answer these questions we journey from the urban jungle to the real jungle. Food and how apes find it has been key to the evolution of large brains – something that all apes share with humans. Humans are different from apes because we walk on two feet – or are we? David wades through water with a remarkable group of chimps that give us a unique window into our past.
