What can we expect from this episode
Only now, after 4.5 billion years, does Earth have a technological and self-aware animal species roaming its surface, capable of studying the very planet that gave rise to it, allowing its history to be written down. What exactly on Earth caused human beings to evolve? Amazingly lifelike animation shows the catastrophic asteroid strike that wiped out the dinosaurs, the tumultuous climate changes that facilitated the global spread of early primates, and the geologic events that paved the way for the evolution of a bipedal animal. Learn about the strength and paradox of humanity’s massive impact on Earth and consider the possibility that we can shape its future.
NOVA brings you stories from the frontlines of science and engineering, answering the big questions of today and tomorrow, from how our ancestors lived, to whether parallel universes exist, to how technology will transform our lives.
