HUMAN ANCESTRY: GOOGLE VIDEOS TO REVIEW AND WEB SITES TO VISIT

Hi Everyone

Here is the abstract and link for the Video APE to MAN.

It has long been considered the most compelling question in our history: Where do human beings come from? Although life has existed for millions of years, only in the past century-and-a-half have we begun to use science to explore the ancestral roots of our own species. The search for the ultimate answer has taken a number of twists and turns, with careers made and broken along the way. APE TO MAN is the story of the quest to find the origins of the human race - a quest that spanned more than 150 years of obsessive searching.
