Geologist Ian Stewart explain in three stages of natural history the crucial interaction of our very planet's physiology and its unique wildlife. Biological evolution is largely driven bu adaptation to conditions such as climate, soil and irrigation, but biotopes were also shaped by wildlife changing earth's surface and climate significantly, even disregarding human activity.

Join anthropologist Jill Pruetz and guide Dondo (Johnny) Kanté and watch evolution happen in real time. Meet the elusive chimps of Fongoli, Senegal, who use tools, interact with fire, and adapt to the human world as it collides with their own.
