DVD to be released 26th April 2010
The two-hour series, “Discovering Ardi,” documents the sustained, intensive investigation that began in the Ethiopian desert 17 years ago after the discovery of a 4.4 million year old female partial skeleton nicknamed “Ardi”.
Ardi’s discovery opened a new chapter on human evolution, revealing the first evolutionary steps our ancestors took after we diverged from a common ancestor we once shared with living chimpanzees.
It took an elite international team of experts fifteen years to delicately, meticulously and methodically piece together "Ardi" and her lost world in order to reveal her significance.
The film uses both location sequences and extensive computer-generated animation to detail the original research and is designed to bring the many discoveries of the Middle Awash team to a wide viewing public.
Dirty Job’s host Mike Rowe narrates.
Notes To Editors:
“Discovering Ardi” is brought to DVD under license by Demand Media and was first broadcast on Discovery Channel in the UK.
The DVD retails at an RRP of £17.99 from Amazon.co.uk and all good retailers.
