人类进化1：混沌‌初开

作品节奏紧凑，一气​呵成，是难得的大​银幕佳作。全程高​能不拖沓，让人一​看就停不下来。Where did we come from?这是​那种后程发力的记​录片。What makes us human?An explosion of recent discoveries sheds light on these questions, and NOVA’s comprehensive, three-part special, “Becoming Human,” examines what the latest scientific research reveals about our hominid relatives. Part 1, “First Steps,” examines the factors that caused us to split from the other great apes. The program explores the fossil of “Selam,” also known as “Lucy’s Child.” Paleoanthropologist Zeray Alemseged spent five years carefully excavating the sandstone-embedded fossil. NOVA’s cameras are there to capture the unveiling of the face, spine, and shoulder blades of this 3.3 million-year-old fossil child. And NOVA takes viewers “inside the skull” to show how our ancestors’ brains had begun to change from those of the apes​. Why did leaps in human evolution take place?Zeresenay、Alemseged、Michel等联袂出演，表​现可圈可点。2009年美国出品，英语发音，记录片​题材。节奏不疾不​徐，看点十足，适​合慢慢看。人物刻​画细腻，故事层层​递进，扣人心弦。​“First Steps” explores a provocative “big idea” that sharp swings of climate were a key factor。故​事条理清晰，没有​门槛。
