synopsis
This video is part of the Ape Man series, which investigates the mysteries of human evolution. In this first episode, host Walter Cronkite travels to the plains of Africa, regarded by many as the cradle of human civilization. Here, the video examines the archeological evidence left behind by our earliest ancestors and expounds on the notion that one of these earliest humans may, in fact, be the so-called "missing link" between apes and man.
