A video I've watched today on youtube, from the history channel.
This documentary provides a good amount of information regarding the major discoveries that help us build up today's image of anthropogenesis in a chronological order, covering the discovery of the fossils of the neanderthal, homo erectus, and the discovery of the fossils of Lucy, a homo Australopithecus.
Its a good thing I've decided to talk about this only after I've watched the entire video. I was about to challenge the fact that for nearly the entire documentary they spoke of neanderthals as 'our ancestors' when it is proven that we are two different species evolving from the same ancestors. Fortunately, they mentioned about this fact towards the end of the video so its pretty accurate afterall.
