The rise of humans : great scientific debates / John Hawks, Ph.D.
In this series of lectures, Professor Hawks surveys some of the greatest debates in the scientific community concerning the origin and rise of human beings. Was Australopithecus afarensis really our earliest ancestor? Did early humans arise in Africa alone, or in regions throughout the world? What role do Neanderthals play is our genetic heritage?
