First Peoples (TV program)

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

First Peoples is a 2015 television documentary about the first people on the continents of the Earth. The five-part PBS series covers each continent or group of continents one at a time. The focus is on very recent work in paleogenomics (the study of genomes from very long ago).[1] It was produced by Wall to Wall Television. The series challenges the East African origin theory of modern man showing there were other origins in other parts of Africa.[2]

A two-disk DVD of the documentary was made in 2015.
