In this program, David Attenborough learns about our closest animal relatives, intelligent great apes, and how their large brains enabled one species to dominate the planet. David meets an orangutan with a passion for DIY and rowing boats in Borneo. In Africa, he takes part in a nut-cracking lesson with a group of chimps learning survival skills. Filmed for the first time, Ngogo chimps hunt monkeys to supplement their vegetarian diet. David meets an extraordinary group of wading chimps that give us a unique window into our past, the moment when we took a step towards humanity. David travels to the Tikal ruins to trace the rise and fall of the Maya people. A BBC Production
