The Ascent of Man: 1: Lower than the Angels

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

A personal view by J. Bronowski

Dr Bronowski opens the first programme of the series at Man's birthplace, the great Rift Valley of East Africa, and traces the evolution of Man's unique gifts-foresight and imagination - and the changes in Man as he marches out of Africa, through desert and ice age, to leave the print of his hand in a Spanish cave.

(Repeated next Sunday afternoon)
(Fully illustrated book, available from booksellers, price £4.75)
(The end for Bronowski - or a new beginning?: page 17)
