In Search of Human Origins, Part Two [Surviving in Africa]

• 1994 ----- color ----- 55 min ----- vhs
• In a unique way, Don Johanson sets out to disprove the long-cherished view that early man's larger brain and reliance on technology are the by-products of the ability to hunt. He embarks on a journey across the Serengeti savanna of East Africa in search of food. He finds it--not by hunting but by scavenging off the leftovers of lions and leopards. In the process he proves it takes cunning and intelligence to steal a meal from these skilled predators, without becoming a meal himself. (Donated by the Department of Anthropology)
