| Summary |
Researchers focus on the connections between the rain forest and our own species, looking for possible insights into humanity's past, present, and future. Italian Primatologist, Chloe Cipolletta tries to make the first contact with lowland Gorillas in the remote African forests of the Congo. Similar contact with other great apes by experts like David Watts in Uganda shows where our ability to use tools came from and the kind of nature that we might have inherited. American Archaeologists Rene Munoz and Charles Golden, working in the forests of Guatemala and British Archaeologist Charles Higham in Cambodia are studying the ruins of lost civilisations to discover what happens when we turn the skills we inherited from our primate past against the forest. The fate of these civilisations offers us a powerful lesson about our own future and the future of the jungle |
