- APE TO MAN examines the major discoveries that have led us to the understanding we have today, including theories that never gained full acceptance in their time, an elaborate hoax that confused the scientific community for years, and the ultimate understanding of the key elements that separate man from apes. It has long been considered the most compelling question in our history: Where do huma
DVD Reviews of Ape to Man (History Channel)
DVD Review: What is this? The 70s?
Summary: 1 Stars
Ape To Man by the History Channel is television's version of a soap opera based on some kind of badly written romance novel. While they do a good job of chronicling the discoveries and the scientists involved in the search for our past the theories and answers they sometimes come up with are based less on science and more on the need to gain viewers.
For example, showing the Neanderthals being wiped our by early modern man, saying that Neanderthals didn't have art, those are statements designed to shock but have little in the way of fact behind them. The fossil record shows both groups living side by side in Europe for thousands of years. If we took thousands of years to kill a group that we outnumbered, outsmarted and outarmed than early modern men were twits. Tigers would have taken over by now.
Also the Neanderthals DID have art. Now, maybe they were copying us, but copy cats or not, they had a creative enough mind to make art. Trying to picture them as backwards and less developed than us is only useful to those who want to believe they were so. Once again, to support the idea that we wiped them out.
We are not natural born killers - blaming our genes for actions we did, or did not do, is just a way to get out of the guilt of such things as wars and genocide. Yes, they happen. No, you can't blame our DNA. We were hunted well before we became hunters. Modern problems are caused by greed, bad planning and self-centered minds - not by some actions by the first humans that may, or may not, have happened.
The questions are interesting but the answers are nothing but the same old ones people have been parroting for decades.
If this has been made in the 70s it would have been ahead of it's times. But this came out in 2005 which means it is a waste of money to buy, new or used.
