After seventeen years of searching the Ethiopian desert for clues to the story of human evolution, researchers unearth a 4.4 million year old skeleton that may be the so-called "missing link" between man and primate. Affectionately nicknamed "Ardi," the skeleton was one of the most exciting and important finds in contemporary archeology. Narrator Mike Rowe (Dirty Jobs) reveals the fascinating details about the landmark discovery as 3D animation helps to envision just the kind of life "Ardi" may have led when she roamed the planet millions of years ago.
