More than three million years ago, in what is now Ethiopia, lived an ape who walked upright. In 1974 anthropologist Donald Johanson discovered her bones, and named her Lucy.
"For well over a century people have been fascinated by the search to find the missing link, a creature that would bridge the gap between ourselves and the primitive apes, says Johanson. "Lucy turned our predictions upside down. We thought the missing link would be a large-brained, four-footed ape. But here was the skeleton of a creature that looked like it could stand and walk like us, yet with an ape's jaw."
Nearly 20 years later Johanson found the remains of a male, a mate for Lucy. This new three-part series traces how they became Homo sapiens, using tools, discovering fire, developing language, recording their culture and spreading throughout the world. It begins a short season of programmes on the theme "Who Are People?".
