Just The Facts, Ma'am...

"I like just the facts. No cartoons, no explosions, no half-naked cavemen fighting off cave bears. Well, that is cool, but I want just the facts, to examine, to explore, to think about. Let me decide what I think about Neanderthals and let me decide what I think about Homo sapiens. A great DVD - even if it seems kind of old and feels like a 1980's video. In other words it feels a tad cheap but maybe that's because there is no flash just facts. The scientists in the DVD show you the stone tools, they show you the fossils, they explain the views points, the theories, they talk about the changing environments and they don't talk down to you. Sit back, get some tea and enjoy. Thinking IS good for you."
Great for high schoolers

"I used this in my anthropology class for high school juniors and seniors and they were very interested in it, asked questions and received a better grasp of the material."
