Plot

Who were the first Americans? Theories abound on the answer to that question. This BBC documentary follows a new quest for the first humans to have a foothold in the Western hemisphere. The discovery of an ancient skull sets scientific experts off on a search, shattering some longstanding and deeply held beliefs along the way. The labyrinthine path leads deep into remote jungle sites in Brazil and to the arid outback in Australia. Virtual reality and forensic archaeology resurrect a vanished race of proto-Americans. ~ Rose of Sharon Winter, All Movie Guide
