Out of the Cradle (2019)

A series of three episodes of "the birth of Man", which is a collaboration between NHK of Japan and Public Television of Taiwan, leads viewers to explore the process of human evolution based on the latest scientific findings. This series is created in partnership with Square Enix, an internationally renowned Japanese game animation company, to recreate the famine era with ultra-high quality, ultra-fine computer animation and cutting-edge visual effects. Through the scientific experiments and sharing of researchers, the audience will witness various critical moments in the process of human evolution and understand the survival laws of ancient Homo sapiens. From the primitive man first found in Africa to the human beings all over the world today, this is a wonderful course of human evolution over the past millions of years. In this process full of reversals and counterattacks, mankind has overcome one crisis after another and launched a brilliant adventure story. Since the first known hominid appeared on the African continent millions of years ago, their offspring began to have different branches, but only one of these many species survived. According to the latest research, at least 20 different species once lived on Earth, and some even coexisted with other species at the same time, competing with each other for survival.
