Where do we come from, how did we become who we are and where are we most likely going to go? In this new six-part series, science journalist Govert Schilling goes in search of the origin of man. He visits special places and fascinating excavations, and looks over the shoulders of passionate scientists. He also examines the current state of humanity and hears how scientists think about our future. Govert looks for answers in his own country, but also travels to South Africa, Georgia, Scandinavia, Germany, the United Kingdom, France and Spain.
