At one time we shared this planet with about 5 other "homo" species and we believe our human ancestry was made up of at least 14 other human species. This week Peter and Russell will take a look at our ancestral family tree and find out what other hominins lived before and while we were around. What did we share with them? What did we learn from them? and most important of all What happened to them and why are we the only one's left?

Great Survival Stories

Do you think you can survive falling out of a plane? How would you find your way home if you woke up in the jungle? What if your arm got stuck under a bolder and you couldn't get out? This week Peter and Russell look at some of the great survival stories in history. Without any warning these people have found themselves trying to survive and make it out alive. Join us for survival stories that will make you wonder "what would I do if that happened to me?"
