  • "Driedelige serie over wetenschappelijk onderzoek naar de evolutie van de mens."
  • "Documenting an array of dramatic new discoveries, this three-part documentary series examines what the latest scientific research reveals about our hominid relatives. Featuring interviews with world-renowned scientists and using CSI-like forensic investigation, Becoming Human was shot where many discoveries were unearthed throughout Africa and Europe. Dry bones spring back to life with stunning computer-generated animation and prosthetics. These fossils not only give clues to what early hominids looked like but also how they lived."

  • "Where did we come from? What makes us human? NOVA's investigation explores how new discoveries are transforming views of our earliest ancestors. Featuring interviews with world-renowned scientists, footage shot "in the trenches" as fossils were unearthed, and computer-generated animation, Becoming Human brings early hominids to life, examining how they lived and how we became the creative and adaptable modern humans of today."
  • "Part 1, "First Steps," examines the factors that caused us to split from the other great apes. The program explores the fossil of "Selam," also known as "Lucy's Child." Paleoanthropologist Zeray Alemseged spent five years carefully excavating the sandstone-embedded fossil. NOVA's cameras are there to capture the unveiling of the face, spine, and shoulder blades of this 3.3 million-year-old fossil child. And NOVA takes viewers "inside the skull" to show how our ancestors' brains had begun to change from those of the apes."@en
