How did we go from being just one of many types of human to the dominant form of life on the planet? Ella Al-Shamahi is on a mission to find out.   In a major new BBC science series, Human, the paleoanthropologist reveals our incredible story across 300,000 years of human evolution and how – with the help of the latest discoveries – we’re learning that the story is stranger and more surprising than we ever imagined.   "We started in obscurity, we weren’t remarkable, we weren’t the smartest, nor the strongest, just the latest in a long line of human species," she explains. "Yet, today, we are the only species of human left and we have gone on to build, invent and explore like no species ever has."   Find out more at the link in the comments and watch Human on iPlayer.

From Ancient Rome to Cleopatra’s Egypt, via the samurai of Japan and the lost world of the Aztecs, discover why four mighty civilisations found themselves on the brink of disaster - and how the art and artefacts they left behind hold clues to explaining their fate.   Landmark BBC Arts documentary series, Civilisations: Rise and Fall, brings these ancient civilisations back to life with unprecedented access to The British Museum’s collection.   Across four episodes, interviews with experts, key academics and curators are combined with bold drama-reconstructions to follow the clues in these treasures that explain why each culture fell from power, and whether these relics can help us understand the risks we face today.   “A new series of Civilisations is always a significant moment for BBC Arts and this incarnation feels particularly timely in our own uncertain age,” says Suzy Klein, Head of BBC Arts and Classical Music TV.    “With unprecedented access to the British Museum’s collection, Civilisations: Rise and Fall makes the case that museums are more relevant than ever: they are repositories of human memory, time-capsules – a crucial way for us to understand the past and how we might ensure the future of our own civilisation.”   Find out more at the link in the comments. 📸: BBC Studios/Marcell Piti
