A journey into a unique land, in search of the colours, sounds, smells and signs that characterize it. The color of the sea and the stone. The sound of wind and voices. The smell of cistus and helichrysum. The signs of the many civilizations that have invaded it from time to time, without ever dominating it. An island that is almost a continent. From the beaches of Maddalena and Asinara to the mines of Sulcis, from the stones of the nuraghi to the Roman remains, from the basilica of Saccargia to the walls of Alghero, ours will be a tale punctuated by stories, traditions, legends that make this land a magical place and mysterious. We will meet its people, we will listen to its particular language and we will fill our eyes with the color of an incredible sea. The great English traveler Herbert Lawrence defined it thus: "Sardinia is something else... Ridges of hills like moorland... which are disappearing, perhaps, towards a small group of peaks.

What happened to the ancient human species that inhabited Europe and part of Asia before the arrival of Homo Sapiens?

And what happens when the two human species come face to face in the same territories? Alberto Angela, in this episode of Ulisse, guides us to the solution of this intricate enigma "at the crime scene" directly from the wonderful places inhabited by Neanderthals and then by Sapiens in Italy and Europe.
