Walking with Cavemen - Episode 1: First Ancestors

Walking with Cavemen - Episode 1: First Ancestors - Watch Free Documentary Online - BBC, Richard Dale, Nick Green, Mark Hedgecoe, Peter Oxley

In the first episode, we see Australopithecus afarensis, and focus on their evolved bipedality (walking on just rear feet - our legs). More specifically, the story follows the famous Lucy and her relatives, as they first develop a leadership conflict following the death of the alpha male due to a crocodile attack, and then are attacked by a rival troupe. The attack ends with death of Lucy herself, and her eldest daughter caring for Lucy's now-orphaned baby (her sibling), as a sign of the developing humanity in these "apemen".
