A personal view in 13 parts by J Bronowski
2: The Harvest of the Seasons 'And the father of our people, the hill man, Bakhtyar, came out of the fastnesses of the western mountains in ancient days. His seed were as plentiful as the rocks on the mountains and his people prospered.'
(BAKHTIARI LEGEND)
As the ice retreats and the land flowers, man the hunter turns to agriculture, domesticating plant and animal, imposing his will on the wild wheat and the horse.
The programme follows the nomadic Bakhtiari tribe on their ancient migrations across the Zagros mountains of central Iran, contrasting their perilous way of life with the stable city-culture of Jericho. In the bitter conflict between the settled farmer and the mounted warrior,
Dr Bronowski discovers the intellectual roots of war, and shows how even the descendants of the mightiest warrior of all, Ghengis Khan , were finally compelled to settle.

The Search for the Disappeared
How can science help in the investigation of political kidnappings and mass murder?
Argentina's military juntas were responsible for torturing and killing over 10,000 people. Today their bones are their only witnesses. By exhuming unmarked graves, forensic scientists are identifying individual victims and finding important evidence to bring those responsible to justice.
Many of the 'Children of the Disappeared' have survived because they were illegally taken by military families who may have been involved in their parents' murder. When grandparents eventually trace their grandchildren, the only way they can get them back is to prove their real identity by genetic testing.
