I really do love Alan Alda, and I went into this show hoping to hear some information that I hadn't been exposed to yet. Unfortunately that was not the case. In fact, they actually spent (all that I could tolerate watching, which was around 25 mins of the first episode) a bunch of time discussing the "Neanderthals migration from Africa into Europe". Despite the fact that Neanderthal remains have never been found in Africa, and Homo Erectus migrated from Africa around 1.8mya (or during the early Pleistocene).
In summation: Please do not watch this and expect to get any accurate information about human evolution.
