We go in search of the first humans and and try to piece together a picture of how they managed to survive in the dangerous environment of pre-historic Africa around 200,000 years ago.

We discover how our species developed technologically and how eventually, a tiny group of them – perhaps a single tribe – left Africa, around 70,000 years ago.

The programme also gathers expert opinions on the evidence left by bones, stones and genes to try to work out which route these early people took out of Africa, allowing them to spread and eventually colonise the whole globe, to become the ancestors of all humans outside Africa today.
