【简介】 发现猩猩世界里最惊人的秘密。 从科特迪瓦浓密苍郁的热带森林，到坦桑尼亚陡峭的山坡，科学家发现了许多有关野生黑猩猩的惊人事实：牠们能办识某些能治病的植物、联合狩猎，以及进行惨烈的领土战争、甚至出现孤独生活和掠夺同伴的极端表现。针对几个世代的深入研究，我们对牠们复杂的社会阶级结构以及独特的文化有了更重要的体认。黑猩猩的生态其实至为复杂，几与人类无异，而本片也让我们了解到，必须深入认识自然环境中的黑猩猩，以藉此了解牠们并未在转变成人的过程中失败，而是转变成了现代的人猿。

Using information from the investigation following the dropping of the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, this documentary outlines the immediate 24 hours following the massive explosion. The first atomic bomb contained 140 lbs of enriched uranium and reduced the downtown to a wasteland with 70,000 people killed immediately. Another 40,000 died three days later when a second bomb was dropped on Nagasaki. The Army spent 10 weeks studying the impact of the explosion focusing on thermal flash. The immediate impact was that some were vaporized leaving only atomic shadows. Triangulating these led them to conclude that the bomb exploded only a few hundred yards from its intended target. There was heavy damage for 3 miles in every direction. A great many were burned but there was very little information about radiation poisoning at the time. Today, scientists are still studying but the study continues today with the study of 120,000 Hiroshima survivors.

科学家们利用DNA技术证明所有的人类拥有共同的祖先，为此他们来到人类的摇篮——东非。 Scientists use the DNA from a random group of people to show that all humans share common ancestors. On a single day on a single street, with the DNA of just a couple of hundred random people, National Geographic Channel sets out to trace the ancestral footsteps of all humanity. Narrated by Kevin Bacon, The Human Family Tree travels to one of the most diverse corners of the world -- Queens, N.Y. -- to demonstrate how we all share common ancestors who embarked on very different journeys. Regardless of race, nationality or religion, all of us can trace our ancient origin back to the cradle of humanity, East Africa. What did our collective journey look like, and where did it take your specific ancestors? At what point in our past did we first cross paths with the supposed strangers living in our neighbourhood? Now, in The Human Family Tree, the people of this quintessential American melting pot find out that their connections go much deeper than a common ZIP code.
