The Ascent of Man

on BBC Two England

A personal view by J. Bronowski in 13 programmes
9: The Ladder of Creation
Where was the Garden of Eden? How did life begin on earth? World-shattering questions that sparked off the greatest controversy of the Victorian Age. DR BRONOWSKI recounts the tropical adventures of that most entertaining and accident-prone of self-made naturalists, Alfred Russell Wallace, and how they triggered off the idea of the more famous Charles Darwin.
The film is everywhere superb. So. in his idiosyncratic way, is Dr Bronowski.
