content: Television broadcast produced for National Educational Television Network presents Dr. William White Howells, professor of anthropology at Harvard University, discussing the fossil evidence relating to the evolution of Homo sapiens. Howells examines the following fossils: Rhodesian man, Neandertal man, Peking man, Raymond Dart's Taung baby, and various finds attributed to the genus Australopithecine including the Leaky's Zinjanthropus. The film focuses on evolutionary changes in brain size, bipedalism, and teeth and looks at the use of stone tools as a potential catalyst for increasing brain size.
