In this episode of History Files, we begin our distant journey into the past some 3.6 million years ago. Three Elective History students over the next three weeks will be uncovering the fossil record of our human evolution from Lucy to the Neanderthal. In Part 1, I will be speaking to Tanya, and she will be exploring where it all began. Also, what were some other Homonins that were in competition on the ever expanding African savanna?
