I MET OUR OLDEST ANCESTORS (3 Million Years Ago!)

What was it like to witness the very first steps of the human story? In this episode, I travel back over 3 million years to the Pliocene era in Africa to find out.

Join me on a journey to the true dawn of time, where I observe a troop of Australopithecus afarensis—our earliest bipedal ancestors. In a world ruled by giant prehistoric predators, this small, vulnerable group makes a courageous decision: to leave the safety of the trees and walk across the open savanna in a desperate search for water.

Witness their intelligence, their social bonds, and their incredible struggle for survival against giant hyenas and terror birds. This journey culminates in a powerful, emotional discovery: the very footprints that would set the course for all of human history. This is not just a story of survival; it's the story of the moment we chose to stand up and walk toward the future.
