Becoming Human: Nova (2009)

Three part PBS documentary series on human evolution. Now we all know the basics of this from school, apes become humans, but I've never heard it in such detail, where the hows and whys of this process are really explained. For example, what would be the advantage of being a hairless ape, well this documentary explains that, the ability to sweet. Also among the strongest evidences for human evolution, lice, though you have to see it to understand. Anyway while the presentations a little repetitive, the information really is quite fascinating. If you want to understand human evolution, this is a good place to look. Grade: B-
