Palaeoanthropologist Ella Al-Shamahi tells the story of humanity across 300,000 years of evolution by looking at five key moments, revealing how our ancestors went from being just one of many hominin species to a dominant form of life on Earth. She begins by revealing how Homo sapiens first emerged, finding out that the species is 100,000 years older than previously thought and was nearly wiped out by violent climate change, but clung on against the odds.
