Prof Alice Roberts Uncovers Incredible Origins Of Ancient Humans | BBC Timestamp

Why did early humans leave their original homeland of Africa, and how did they go on to colonise the world?

From the Ethiopian desert to the Malay peninsula and from the Eurasian Steppe to the Amazon basin, Prof Alice Roberts encounters fascinating archaeological finds that have completely re-written our knowledge of where we came from and deepened our understanding of the challenges that early humans faced as they tried to settle continents.

This is a compilation of clips from the series The Incredible Human Journey (2009). You can watch this series in full in the UK on BBC iPlayer: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/b00klf6j/the-incredible-human-journey
