       NOVA's...investigation explores how new discoveries are 
       transforming views of our earliest ancestors. Featuring 
       interviews with world-renowned scientists, footage shot 
       "in the trenches" as fossils were unearthed, 
       and...computer-generated animation, [these programs] bring
       early hominids to life, examining how we became the 
       creative and adaptable modern humans of today...In the 
       first episode...encounter..."Selam," the amazingly 
       complete remains of a 3 million year-old child, packed 
       with clues to why we split from the apes, came down from 
       the trees, and started walking upright...[T]he second 
       episode investigates the riddle of "Turkana Boy" -- a 
       tantalizing fossil of Homo erectus, the first ancestor to 
       leave Africa and colonize the globe...[T]he final 
       episode...explores the origins of "us" -- where modern 
       humans and our capacities for art, invention, and survival
       came from, and what happened when we encountered the 
       mysterious Neanderthals"--Container.
