This SECRETS OF THE DEAD special paints a portrait of a missing link in the evolution of humans using forensic techniques. After 13 bones were found in a volcanic layer dating back at least 6 million years in Kenya in December 2000, scientists nicknamed this earliest hominid the "Millennium Man." Scientists believe that further study of these bones will rewrite the story of human evolution.

CSI 6 million years ago
This is an excellent example of the forensic science of Palentology. It doesn't have a lot of Flashy computer graphics, just excellent and controversial science.

Great Human Origins Video!
For me, this replaces the outdated "NOVA: Human Origins". "Secrets of the Dead" is ALWAYS a good show, with great science. This one makes Human Origins easy to understand, and discusses controversies well. It includes Lucy (3.2 million year old Australopithecus) and focuses on Orrorin (6 million year old hominid).
