Before We Ruled the Earth

For 300,000 years, hunting—and being hunted—was a way of life that defined humankind. Using dramatic reenactments that integrate computer animations of species long extinct, this series tells the story of how hominids and early humans prevailed over both the elements and their competition. Helpful timelines and fascinating "how we know what we know" segments highlight key archaeological digs and fossil records. A Discovery Channel Production. 2-part series, 50 minutes each.
