Royal Institution Christmas Lectures: Season 2018, Episode 2

2018 - 2: Who Am I?: What Makes Me Human?

Lecture two covers the story of our recent evolution from early two-legged hominins to modern humans – revealing how a humble African ape became a successful global species. Alice and Aoife uncover the story of our journey out of Africa as we spread across the globe, and ask what sets us apart from the other, now extinct, hominin species.
