Description

For most of human history, Homo sapiens were not alone. Neanderthals, Denisovans, Homo erectus and other human species once walked the Earth. So why did they disappear while we survived? In this video, we explore what happened to our closest human relatives — and why Homo sapiens became the last human species standing.
