Episode description

In 1974, as the sun rises over the Hadar region of Ethiopia, Donald Johanson and Tom Gray, two anthropologists, set out for a day of archaeological excavation. The reddish, arid African soil crunches under their feet, the air is dry and dusty. They feel the heat rising gradually, the atmosphere is stifling. The researchers make their way through the ravine near the Awash river. Their keen eyes scan every corner in search of any anomalies. The sound of the river accompanies their footsteps. Suddenly, Tom stops. Something catches his eye, he kneels down to get a better look. He calls Donald to come help him, and they start digging into the sand and rock with determination. They have no idea yet of the immense discovery they are about to make.
