  We have uncovered the secrets of the atom and travelled to the moon. But how did humans come to be so successful? This series explores the anatomical changes that have given us and our ancestors the edge. Everything from the way that we walk to the shape of our jaw and even the way our thumbs move connects us intimately to the struggles and triumphs of our ancestors. Yet many of those changes have come at a surprising cost and the problems we face now are a direct consequence of our evolutionary journey. As much about our bodies today as about our bodies 6 million years ago Origins Of Us will change the way you see yourself.

  In this three-part landmark series Andrew Marr explores the legacy and contemporary influence of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. He travels to Argentina Chile and Brazil to reveal key moments in Darwin's life-changing voyage on HMS Beagle. He also visits places in the United States Turkey Belgium Germany and the Caribbean that are central to the epic story of Darwin's revolutionary idea. Each programme explores how Darwin's idea broke out from the world of science and took on a life of its own. Darwin's Dangerous Idea still has the power to inspire challenge and disturb us.
