While Homo sapiens are now the only known and surviving species, Human- The Untold Story of our Human Origins will shine the spotlight on others, which were Homo erectus, Homo floresiensis, Homo Neanderthalensis and The Denisovans.

Ella Al-Shamahi's journey will start in Morocco, where she will discover the early traces of Homo sapiens and how they battled against the climate changes, hid in caves and fashioned tools from their surroundings to evolve into the Humans we know today.

The journey will then continue to the Middle East and the rainforests of Sri Lanka, where our ancestors tamed the unforgiving jungle into their hunting ground and met with the tiny Floresiensis, until they made their way to Australia.

Human- The Untold Story of our Human Origins will then move on to the shocking extinction of Neanderthals, another of our sister species in Europe and how Homo Sapiens interbred with these species.

The final leg of the docu-series will take us back to the Ice Age, when Homo sapiens finally traveled to the last habitable continent on the planet: America. The docu-series will conclude by exploring how Homo sapiens shifted from nomadic life to permanent and urban settlements in Turkey and finally to the rest of the world.
