The Search for Adam

Could we all be descendants of an "Adam"? And if Adam existed, who was he, where did he live and what did he look like? Join leading geneticist and National Geographic Explorer-In-Residence, Spencer Wells, as he embarks on a quest to trace every man's family tree back to an "ultimate ancestor."

His extraordinary journey ultimately lands him in Africa where he pinpoints the birthplace of human kind. Using the latest technology in DNA research and forensic anthropology, Wells and others reconstruct the life and face of Adam. Explore a world where science and religion converge as we shed new light on our ancient past in The Search for Adam.
