David Attenborough presents this paleontological documentary following the discovery in Germany of a fossilised skeleton that represents a vital missing link in human evolution. The fossil, known as Ida, could be an indication of one of the roots of anthropoid evolution - the point at which our primate ancestors began first developing the features that would evolve into our own.
