Britain's First Homo Sapiens
Notes de l’épisode
What was it like to share Britain with Neanderthals and cave hyenas 40,000 years ago?
Tristan Hughes ventures deep underground to Kents Cavern, a glittering labyrinth affectionately known as Britain’s first home. He's joined by archaeological scientist Dr. Helen Fewlass on a live, groundbreaking excavation. Together they discover how cutting-edge science and ancient stone tools are rewriting the story of the first Homo sapiens.
