Walking with Cavemen DVD

Take a stroll with the most personal and captivating entry in the Walking with... series yet – a kaleidoscope of 3.5 million years of human evolution, presented by Golden Globe nominee Alec Baldwin.

Follow a group of tottering ape-like men as they get the hang of their new bipedal skills...and then use those skills to fight in their very first turf war. Travel to ancient Africa – where dozens of human species are brought to stunning life through state-of-the-art make-up and visual effects – for the development of our first, crude burial rituals and the advent of the extended family structure. As time passes, the continents shift and entire mountain ranges sink into the sea – all presented using a special visual technique developed just for this program. Eventually, the species with the biggest brain wins out: Homo sapiens easily push the Neanderthals out of ice age Europe. They demonstrate skills like navigation and critical thinking, but can they learn to get along?

Then we were apes, now we are men. The epic story of human history comes to life in a handsome production of the lives of creatures with which we share an undeniable kinship. It is by turns uproarious and sad, frightening and frolicking – showing how Homo sapiens, the family of modern humans, have become unique on earth.
