Alice Roberts and George McGavin continue their journey into our evolutionary history. They go back 1.5 million years to meet Homo erectus, who walked the earth far longer than any other human species and were the first ancestors to look a lot like we do. They reveal the key skills that made Homo erectus excellent hunters, proficient at making stone tools and possibly able to control fire.
