In this second series, evolutionary biologist Darren Curnoe drills further into the mine that is human evolution. What killed off prehistoric megafauna? Are we all athletes? And why exactly is the human bottom the shape it is? “How Did We Get Here” has a bit of fun answering some of these big questions. Serious science – with a dose of humour.
