Informative and visually stunning

Comments about PBS NOVA: Becoming Human Unearthing Our Earliest Ancestors Blu-ray:

Information on human evolution changes almost daily but this DVD is right up to date (with possible exception of the latest discovery that all present non-Africans may have Neanderthal DNA). It clearly traces and explains the human lineage back to our common ancestor with chimps and reveals all the modern methods working to uncover out distant past. My only criticism is the program's glossing over of the origins of human caring. Caring didn't just spring out of nowhere but there is no explanation of its evolutionary origins. Still, a visual and intellectual treat, especially in Blue Ray.
