The most interesting part of this movie to me is finding out why so many people left there homes and ended up in Australia. I was thinking he was going to say that they walked across the ocean during the ice age, but ocean water doesn't freeze. They way shows like this pan out, they are set up only for success. So that means, because they went to India, they WILL find what they are looking for there. But why would so many of them leave Africa and not stop until they reached Australia?
The first thing question that got my brain working was how many of them left? You know there had to be a lot of them, because traveling would have wore them down, and many of them would have died along the way. The trip had to have taken several years, so many of them would have died. So what kind of outrageous number are we talking about? Because there had to be a good number of people to populate Australia. I'm really surprised a split like this didn't cause our species to die out.
So the other question is why would they leave? What was going on back then that would have made them want to risk their lives and their children's lives to go out into the unknown? They didn't have to do it to survive, or the others that stayed would have all died out. Could curiosity really be that strong? Even if it was, there wouldn't have been enough of them that were crazy enough to do this. So I wanna know what happened. It had to have been big.
And also, he was talking about bones as old as 60,000 years. Holy cow. Wouldn't it be cool to be a fly on a cave wall, see how they lived and what kind of creatures roamed the earth? The animals had to be very post-dinosaury. And what happened with the ice age? How did man survive? I have a feeling that this movie won't be as descriptive as I'd like, but that's usual because we always want more answers when it comes to stuff like this. Looking forward to finding out why they left Africa! If they even know...
Until next time,
