Episode 2 – Survivors

Join us for the second installment of our five-part screening series of the acclaimed documentary HUMAN, hosted by paleoanthropologist Ella Al-Shamahi. This month’s episode, “Survivors,” explores one of the greatest mysteries in human history: Why did our species survive while others—like Neanderthals and Denisovans—disappeared?

Through cutting-edge research and immersive storytelling, we’ll examine the factors that tipped the balance in favor of Homo sapiens. Was it cooperation? Innovation? Luck?
And what lessons can we draw today from the rise—and extinction—of other human species?

🔬 Science Meets Storytelling
This series blends the latest discoveries in genetics, fossil records, and archaeology with stunning reconstructions and global perspectives—making it as intellectually rich as it is visually captivating.

📅 A Monthly Exploration of Humanity
We’ll screen one episode each Third Thursday from September through February, with post-screening discussions about the information presented, how it changes our perspective of our own evolution and what it means to be HUMAN.

This event is free and open to all. Please arrive early enough to get seated by showtime as the film will begin promptly at 6:30 PM.
