At the Prehistoric Autopsy HQ in Glasgow, anatomist professor Alice Roberts and biologist Dr George McGavin go on an extraordinary evolutionary journey to meet three of our ancient ancestors. They travel the globe to gather evidence from leading scientists and work with model makers to reconstruct our predecessors-revealing how they lived and differences to modern humans. In Episode 2, the team recreates 1.5 million year old Nariokotome Boy. One of our most successful and longest lasting prehistoric ancestors, Homo Erectus was skilled at hunting, likely controlled fire, and may have helped others
