The fourth episode first shows Homo heidelbergensis in Britain. H. heidelbergensis is depicted as intelligent and sensitive but lacking in the ability to comprehend an afterlife, or anything that isn’t in the “here and now“. Next, the episode shows a clan of Neanderthals, how they lived and hunted, including the mighty mammoth during the last ice age. Finally in Africa we see modern Humans, who had to become imaginative and inventive to survive a long drought and finally glimpse the cave painters of Europe, who had developed the idea of the afterlife and the supernatural, and are now ready to start human history as it is now known, and to drive the Neanderthals to extinction. Other Species: Megaloceros · Woolly mammoth · Mountain hare · Snake · Beetle
