First of 13 programmes presented by Colin Blakemore Beginnings
'To me the human mind is the most important challenge left to science. The human brain makes us what we are.' The Temple of Apollo at Delphi is the setting for
Professor Blakemore's first exploration of the mind machine. He's helped by an extraordinary adult autistic patient, and philosophers and scientists including, Richard Leakey ,
Jane Goodall , Desmond Morris , Richard Dawkins , Nicholas Humphrey , John Searle and artist Jonathan Kenworthy. The programme goes back to the earliest hominids in Africa, and to our closest relatives, chimpanzees, who wage war and make tools. So how are we different? Film editor JUSTIN AMSDEN
