What is your favorite anthropology documentary? (self.asklemmy)

I am especially interested in the initial migrations into the Americas 15,000+ years ago, but our community is small and my interests large, so... any great documentaries are welcome.

I'm definitely showing my age here, but the team who made Walking With Dinosaurs created a while line of "walking with" and, while the CG DEFINITELY did not hold up, the science is still pretty decent.

Walking with Monsters (pre-dinos)
Walking with Dinosaurs
Walking with Beasts (post-dinos)
Walking with Cavemen

The latter, over 100 scientists worked on to try and make it as accurate as possible.
Don't watch the 'Chased by Sea Monsters" one though... for some reason, they changed up the formula and had a guy pretend he was traveling back in time and doing a Steve Irwin on the marine reptiles. It's just terrible.

Did you watch Prehistoric Planet last year? The CG in that series is gorgeous

Yes, I need to do a free trial so I can watch the new season. It's incredible
