The outstanding BBC News History “Africa” series follows and draws on the UNESCO General History of Africa, with extensive interviews with African academics, witnesses, and stakeholders.
This episode includes the origins of humankind; how and why we evolved in Africa. During her journey Zeinab Badawi is granted rare access to the actual bones of one of the most iconic discoveries in the field of palaeontology, ‘Lucy’ in Ethiopia, or as she is known in Amharic, ‘Dinkenesh’, which means ‘you are marvellous’.
Zeinab also spends time in Tanzania with a tribe that is unique in the world because they live in the way our ancestors did, as hunters of big animals and gatherers. This community, who have rarely been filmed, provide a fascinating insight into how we have lived for most of our history.
20 questions for the 45-minute film. Differentiated! Both versions look very similar, but “B” version has subtle clues. Questions right up to the end, no slack time! Creates a great intro / revision / summary resource. Answer sheet. Very easy to mark. .doc & .pdf for all files.
