Human life from evolution to self-evolution
Provides a fresh look at the primordial progression of evolution. Focuses in this episode on Humans, and discusses how an extraterrestrial biologist would probably not hesitate to classify Homo sapiens as just another chimpanzee. After all, the two species share 98 percent of their DNA; and yet what a difference that two percent makes. Investigates how such similar primates became so very dissimilar and how humans, having reached the point where they are little hindered by natural selection, are beginning to evolve themselves. Covers such topics as: where did humans come from, evolution of manual dexterity, ancient tool users, evolution of communal living, the disadvantages of walking u-right, art and religion of ancient homo sapiens, the evolution of language and the biological problems of talking, cultural evolution and written language, natural selection and genetic engineering, and controlling human evolution.
