Human Evolution

How did we get here? That’s the subject of this BrainPop UK movie! Join Tim and Moby (and a 180 kilo gorilla) as they explain what scientists believe to be the origin of man. In this educational, animated movie you’ll discover our relationship to primates and learn how the process of evolution by natural selection is thought to have led to the rise of humans. You’ll meet some of our early pre-human ancestors and find out how palaeontologists use fossils to link our ancestors to us. Learn about the oldest known hominid Sahelanthropus tchadensis, discover our ancestors from the Australopithecine and all the way up to us, homo sapiens. Who are you calling ‘the missing link’?
