The Ape That Stood Up
A three-million-year-old lady called Lucy; a small family drowned in a flash flood in Ethiopia; Nut-cracker Man; Handyman; and a remarkable skull called 1470-all these are pieces in a jigsaw puzzle.
The puzzle is being pieced together in Africa, and it's building up a new picture of man's origins and antiquity, and giving new answers as to how and why we became the most successful species on earth.
