NOVA: Becoming Human (2009): Bringing our early ancestors to life through striking computer graphics based on new discoveries, this NOVA special examines how early hominids lived and how they evolved through the ages to eventually become modern humans.Stars: Early humanoids
This series actually takes into account the recent discoveries and explains the time scales in easy to understand ways. I didn't know that as many as 20 different humanoid species may have existed at various times. The branches of the tree could have used some graphics on the screen rather than just talking about it with hand-waving and lines drawn on a beach. Overall, this is a quite interesting, at least to me it is, documentary series. My Rating: 7.5
