The Making of Mankind

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

The last of a seven-part series tracing the origins of our species, presented by Richard Leakey
The Survival of the Species
Are we descended from killer apes? Do we owe our success to aggression so deeply rooted in our species that today it threatens our very survival? Or is this a dangerous myth?
In this final programme RICHARD LEAKEY re-examines those crucial behaviour patterns that over millions of years made us what we are, and looks at the new evidence from the past that suggests a more optimistic view of the human animal; one that offers hope that our species will survive.
