Ella Al-Shamahi on Instagram: "HUMAN is available to watch on the PBS app (USA) under NOVA (and scroll down) or on BBC iPlayer (UK). Want something to watch with the family this holiday and in the US or UK? Maaaay I recommend our story - probably the most incredible tale of all, and it’s scientifically accurate. HUMAN received rave critical reviews including from the LA Times and Guardian (5 stars), enthusiastic shout outs from Christiane Amanpour and Joe Rogan, and got to number 2 on BBC iPlaye

BBC iPlayer on Instagram: "Early humans were so resourceful 🐒 #Human #EllaAlShamahi What does it take to tell the greatest story never written down? Human brings our species’ untold origin story to life – spanning 300,000 years, at least six human species, and with one extraordinary survivor: us. Presented by Ella Al-Shamahi, Human brings together cutting-edge DNA science, global archaeology, and breathtaking visuals to tell this ambitious story in a totally new way."

Ella Al-Shamahi on Instagram: "Scientists call these smells chemosignals - chemical signals and they we appear to be communicating or gathering information about each other using them. As I always say… we didn’t evolve our way out of being animals. So may be when you get a vibe or a feeling or say you feel weighted down or uplifted by someone… may be, just may be it is based on something (but also may be you are being judgemental 😂 - the science can’t tell us that just yet!). #science #olfactor

Well if this is just me in a car… may I instead suggest that you ask how on Earth the crew and director are getting those shots… (And how many people and how many straps are holding them and the equipment in place) Legends."

Ella Al-Shamahi on Instagram: "Folks always ask about the ‘walking shots’ of me in these amazing locations - how do I do it? I dunno man. Mostly I turn up, get told to walk until I can barely see anyone - try to understand the directions of the director and DOP (cameraman), don’t understand the directions, have the poor assistant producer run a half marathon to try and explain it to me in person. Then get told I am not walking straight (I can’t walk straight- they aren’t lying 😂) and have the p

Plus a really lovely and very funny review from the Daily Mail. Guys… this is better than that infamous ‘run’ I did a few days ago in Paris (put gym kit on and go have a 3 course French meal with 2 desserts… though that is a close second).

Radiolab on Instagram: "Ella al-Shamahi is not just any evolutionary biologist. She braves war zones and pirate-infested waters to collect fossils from prehistoric caves, fossils that help us understand the origin of our species. But her path to get there was complicated. Her story starts as a devout Muslim missionary in a family that had no space for a belief in evolution. Ella sat down with us to tell us a story she has rarely shared publicly, about how she came to believe in evolution, and ho

Ella Al-Shamahi on Instagram: "For a long time we have been the most dominant form of life on Earth… so it’s easy to assume that this was always the case. Homo sapiens turns up and it was written in the stars- all those other human species we shared the planet with shrunk immediately into obscurity. It’s not the case. Our mini-series HUMAN is on PBS Wed 9/8c or on the PBS app. It also now sits on BBC iPlayer in the UK. This is from an interview I did with BBC Earth Science for YouTube. #history
