Not one word about the contributions of Louis, Mary, Richard or Maeve Leakey, nor Tim White nor many other researchers. Too much focus on Arizona State University and other American institutions. What about the contributions of the British and the French? This program strikes me as self-serving with an excessive focus on human evolution as revealed by Americans. This obsessive concentration on the "wonder" and responsibility of humans to save the planet completely ignores the problems brought by human overpopulation and the resultant degradation of Earth's natural ecosystems.
What an amazing message at the end! 🙏
I remember learning about Lucy in 6th Grade -- it was a HUUGE deal.
