The Journey of Man - a 2 part National Geographic documentary tracing the origins and subsequent geographic evolution of man is undoubtably the best documentary I've seen in years. In fact, it even tops my all my favourite documentary series of all times, David Attenborough's The Living Planet. This might be largely attributed to the intrinsic nature of of the subject which so beautifully explains our biological history and inheritance as humans on the whole. Spencer Wells, the geneticist behind the journey gives incisive and lucid explanations of our genetical forefathers and how under extraordinary odds, ventured beyond Africa and evolved into every racial group around the world today. In short, this is the exact story of out past and origin. If you're tuned in to the National Geographic Channel, you can't miss this.
