BBC纪录片《重建古人类原貌Prehistoric.Autopsy》S01全三集

纪录片介绍

    人类学家和考古学家爱丽丝·罗伯特教授和生物学家乔治格文展开对人类的远古祖先进化的探索之旅。在格拉斯哥的古人类研究中心,在一个国际专家小组的帮助下,在以下的三集中,每一集都选择最具有代表性的远古祖先的骨头重建远古祖先的原貌。在这一集中,研究小组将重建150万年前的人类,即直立人。他们在地球上行走的时间远比任何其他人类的祖先都要长,而且在外表上很像我们今天的人类。该小组的最新研究表明,直立人不仅是优秀的猎手,擅长制作石制工具,而且很可能会控制火势。也有证据表明,他们之间也互相帮助,这是人类最重要的特征:同情。

英文资料:
Anatomist Professor Alice Roberts and biologist Dr George McGavin go on an extraordinary evolutionary journey to meet our ancient ancestors. At the Prehistoric Autopsy HQ in Glasgow, with the help of a team of international experts, each episode follows the rebuilding of one of our most iconic ancient ancestors from the bones up.
Part 1: Neanderthal
To make the reconstructions as accurate as possible Alice and George have travelled the globe, gathering evidence from the world's leading scientists. In the lab, scientists put the latest theories to the test to see how similar or different we really are to our ancient ancestors, while experimental archeologists look for clues as to how they lived. All the research has been fed to a team of model makers who have spent months painstakingly reconstructing skeletons, muscles, skin and hair.
Part 2: Homo Erectus
This time they go back 1.5 million years to meet one of the earliest humans, Homo erectus. They walked the earth far longer than any other human species and were the first ancestors to look a lot like we do today. The team reveal the latest research that suggests Homo erectus were good hunters, were skilled at making stone tools and could probably control fire. They also look at evidence that suggests some individuals were helping those who couldn't help themselves. It may be the oldest evidence we have for something we think of as a human trait - compassion.
Part 3: Lucy
This episode looks at probably the most famous of all our early ancestors. She is called Lucy from the species Australopithecus afarensis and she lived 3.2 million years ago. Lucy's species had traded life in the trees for life on the ground, but this ability to routinely walk upright came at a price and it is one we are still paying today.
