What Extinct Human Species Really Looked Like | Human | BBC Timestamp

Long before us, the Earth was home to other incredible human species, including Homo erectus, the mysterious Homo floresiensis, and the often-misunderstood Neanderthals.

We go behind the scenes of new documentary series Human to find out how cutting-edge photogrammetry and CGI was used to reveal surprising truths about how these ancient humans may have looked, lived, why they vanished, and what makes us the last humans standing.

Human brings our species' untold origin story to life – spanning 300,000 years, at least six human species, and with one extraordinary survivor: us. Presented by Ella Al-Shamahi, Human utilises cutting-edge DNA science, global archaeology, and breathtaking visuals to tell this ambitious story in a totally new way.
