I watched it, the watched it again a second time while I recorded it. It's great to have something out there that explains the evolutionary history of human beings in laymen's terms. I had 6 people (all of whom think I am nuts) watch this. If there is one thing they all got out of it, it was the fact that Neanderthal man is NOT our ancestor, but an entirely different species! I am starting to check around right now, but it seems to me that the common misconception is that we descended from Neanderthal man. After viewing this program, all 6 of these people are more inclined to listen to what I have to say about evolution vs. creation. They simply had no idea how it worked!
Until seeing this program, one of my friends (and possibly more) actually thought that man descended from what is, for lack of a better word, modern ape. Once again, the Discovery channel has opened a few minds!!!!!!
Three cheers for the Discovery Channel!
