In this documentary produced by France Télévisions, director Andrés Jarach questions Man from an anthropological and a societal perspective.
From a joyous lively patchwork — where archive images, old silent films and interviews with scientists from the Natural History Museum are intermingled — this documentary humorously sweeps away clichés and puts the great themes of our history into perspective.
The film is also presented in a permanent installation in the new Musée de l'Homme in Paris.
