Children of Africa: The Story of Us - melodysheep.mp3

[00:00.938]【Jacob Bronowski】
[00:07.363]Man is a singular creature;
[00:12.178]He has a set of gifts which make him unique among the animals
[00:17.641]So that unlike them, he is not a figure in the landscape
[00:24.255]He is the shaper of the landscape
[00:26.971]【Alice Roberts】
[00:27.214]We are all children of Africa
[00:32.328]They say this is where it all began
[00:37.365]【Bronowski】
[00:37.957]In a parched African landscape
[00:40.488]Man first put his foot to the ground
[00:47.760]【Roberts】
[00:48.584]Africa was our only home
[00:51.055]for tens of thousands of years
[00:54.143]until a small handful of people made their way
[00:57.721]out of Africa
[00:59.264]【Carolyn Porco】
[00:59.484]These beings with soaring imagination
[01:04.255]Eventually flung themselves and their machines
[01:08.070]Into interplanetary space
[01:10.781]These beings with soaring imagination
[01:14.855]Eventually flung themselves and their machines
[01:18.615]Into interplanetary space
[01:24.996]【Roberts】
[01:25.472]We are all children of africa
[01:30.426]This landscape has been home to humans
[01:33.548]Two hundred thousand years
[01:35.625]【Porco】
[01:35.869]We have come so far
[01:38.002]All of this is cause for great celebration
[01:41.424]We have come so far
[01:43.362]This is a story about us
[01:45.241]【Roberts】
[01:46.379]Those early Europeans
[01:49.126]Were people like you and me
[01:51.843]But it is humbling
[01:54.384]When you see the challenges they faced
[01:57.414]People like you and me
[02:00.059]Overcame the Neaderthals
[02:02.776]People like you and me
[02:05.290]Made it through the ice age
[02:07.227]【Carolyn Porco】
[02:07.633]These beings with soaring imagination
[02:13.076]Eventually flung themselves and their machines
[02:16.708]Into interplanetary space
[02:22.552]【Jane Goodall】
[02:22.843]We are not the only beings
[02:25.440]With personalities, minds, and feelings
[02:28.385]Chimpanzees have very clear personalities
[02:33.641]【Robert Sapolsky】
[02:33.884]Take a chimp brain fetally
[02:36.773]And let it go two or three more rounds of division
[02:40.071]And out comes symphonies and ideology
[02:44.394]【Neil deGrasse Tyson】
[02:44.657]Everything that we are
[02:46.971]That distinguishes us from chimps
[02:49.800]Emerges from that one percent
[02:52.644]Difference in DNA
[02:53.579]【Roberts】
[02:55.025]People like you and me
[02:58.057]Overcame the Neaderthals
[03:00.657]People like you and me
[03:03.220]Made it through the ice age
[03:05.186]【Carolyn Porco】
[03:05.546]These beings with soaring imagination
[03:10.721]Eventually flung themselves and their machines
[03:14.678]Into interplanetary space
[03:17.744]These beings with soaring imagination
[03:21.702]Eventually flung themselves and their machines
[03:25.437]Into interplanetary space
[03:29.334]【David Attenborough】
[03:30.182]Using his burgeoning intelligence,
[03:32.502]This most successful of all mammals
[03:35.237]Has exploited the environment to produce food
[03:38.626]For an ever increasing population.
[03:40.703]Instead of controlling the environment
[03:43.544]For the benefit of the population
[03:45.865]Perhaps it's time we controlled the population
[03:49.230]To allow the survival of the environment
