It seems that each season, NOVA airs an in-depth series co-produced (created by?) the BBC. For Season 52, it's the five-part series, Human.
Around 300,000 years ago, Homo sapiens emerged in Africa—one of at least seven human species alive at the time. Now, we are the only remaining human line, and our impact on the planet is undeniable. In this stunningly cinematic five-part series, paleoanthropologist Ella Al-Shamahi traces the surprising story of human origins. Remarkable new fossil evidence, modern DNA sequencing, and other cutting-edge scientific tools are shedding new light on the lives and journeys of long-vanished human species, and how our encounters with them helped make us who we are today.
