In Search of Human Origins, Part Three [The Creative Revolution]
- 1994 ----- color ----- 55 min ----- vhs
- Fifty thousand generations ago, a dramatic change swept through the hunter-gatherers then living in Africa. They began to paint, carve, talk, bury their dead, travel and trade. What accounts for this sudden transformation? The question continues to be at the heart of heated debates. Some scientists feel it can be explained only by a mass genocide in which a group of superior human beings spread out of Africa, replacing more primitive ancestors along the way. Don Johanson retraces their voyage to the bottom of the mystery. (Donated by the Department of Anthropology)
