Children of Africa The Story of Us
[Jacob Bronowski]
Man is a singular creature;
He has a set of gifts which make him unique among the animals,
So that unlike them, he is not a figure in the landscape,
He is the shaper of the landscape,
[Alice Roberts]
We are all children of Africa, Children of Africa,
They say this is where it all began,
[Jacob Bronowski]
In a parched African landscape,
Man first put his foot to the ground,
[Alice Roberts]
Africa was our only home,
for tens of thousands of years,
until a small handful of people made their way, out of Africa
[Carolyn Porco]
These beings with soaring imagination
Eventually flung themselves and their machines
Into interplanetary space
[Alice Roberts]
We are all children of africa
This landscape has been home to humans
Two hundred thousand years
[Carolyn Porco]
We have come so far
All of this is cause for great celebration
We have come so far
This is a story about us
[Alice Roberts]
Those early Europeans
Were people like you and me
But it is humbling
When you see the challenges they faced
People like you and me
Overcame the Neanderthals
People like you and me
Made it through the ice age
[Carolyn Porco]
These beings with soaring imagination
Eventually flung themselves and their machines
Into interplanetary space,
[Jane Goodall]
We are not the only beings
With personalities, minds, and feelings
Chimpanzees have very clear personalities, minds and feelings,
[Robert Sapolsky]
Take a chimp brain foetally
And let it go two or three more rounds of division
And out comes symphonies and ideology
[Neil deGrasse Tyson]
Everything that we are
That distinguishes us from chimps
Emerges from that one percent difference in DNA
[Alice Roberts]
People like you and me
Overcame the Neanderthals
People like you and me
Made it through the ice age
[Carolyn Porco]
These beings with soaring imagination
Eventually flung themselves and their machines
Into interplanetary space,
These beings with soaring imagination
Eventually flung themselves and their machines
Into interplanetary space
[David Attenborough]
Using his burgeoning intelligence,
This most successful of all mammals
Has exploited the environment to produce food
For an ever increasing population.
Instead of controlling the environment
For the benefit of the population
Perhaps it's time we controlled the population
To allow the survival of the environment.
~End
