8:30 Window on The World
Tonight on Science in Action: Early humans and Neanderthals had similar-sized brains but around 6 million years ago something happened that gave us the intellectual edge. The answer may lie in a tiny mutation in a single gene.
Also, a burial site in Borneo from tens of thousands of years ago gives us fresh insights into our advanced capacity to care for each other. And moving to a carbon-neutral society will involve developing huge battery potential, but that comes with its own environmental and social problems.
