In 1898, six men laid the basis for modern anthropology. A century on, Jonathan Miller visits the Torres Strait near Australia to retrace the steps of the first British anthropological venture.
In a video diary inspired by his own family connections with the early explorers, he examines the legacy of anthropology and asks whether it is really a science at all.
He meets the descendants of the original islanders, the anthropologists who study them today, and the islanders who now study the subject themselves.
