The story

Ape to Man: Theory of evolution is a dramatised documentary on the scientific community's attempts to find evidence of the missing link between early hominids and anatomically modern humans. This documentary follows a timeline journey of discoveries from 1856, around the time of the publication of Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species, to 2005, analysing the impact each discovery had on the theories of human evolution. The story starts with German schoolteacher (and former anatomy student) Johann Fuhlrott in 1856, recognising that a skull and legbone found in a cave differed enough from modern humans to possibly be a missing link.
