• (Life on Earth series, Part 27) David Attenborough studies man, the most expressive mammal, in the last film of the series. He poses the question, are expressions learned or inherited? In order to shed light on the topic, he surveys natives in Central New Guinea who have never been exposed to the outside world. As review he traces the development of the sea and land creatures which evolved into mankind and then examines the human being's need for communication.
• Topics: (Anthropology, Primates, Zoology)
