Who are we and where do we come from? Genetics, archaeology and fossils come together to provide some answers. Amazingly, we can all trace our ancestry back to Africa, where our species appeared around 200,000 years ago. Dr. Alice Roberts, presenter of the BBC series, tracks the ancient migrations that took our ancestors to the corners of Earth: through stones, bones and genes, the story of our incredible human journey unfolds.

Stephen Oppenheimer and Alice Roberts, 13th October 2009
Where did the modern human race originate? How did we disperse across the globe? These questions formed the basis for Alice Roberts’ fascinating BBC TV series The Incredible Human Journey. She is joined by geneticist Stephen Oppenheimer, author of Out of Eden, to discuss genetics and the fascinating story of humanity’s gradual migration across the globe.
