This 3-part series tells their story, spanning seven million years and still very much shrouded in mystery, through findings by the latest in paleoanthropology. At crucial junctures, life-like CGI dramatizations by the world's top video game creators take viewers into the prehistoric world on a level rarely seen in a documentary. Witness this extraordinary and stunning journey tracing the footsteps of early Homo sapiens leaving Africa, reaching the easternmost end of the Eurasian continent and developing a unique culture.
