The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History
  presents Curiosity Stream’s
Prehistoric Autopsy
During Massachusetts Archaeology Month


BREWSTER, MA ­The Cape Cod Museum of Natural 
History in Brewster continues its Nature Screen 
monthly film series with Prehistoric Autopsy; a 
three part documentary series that reconstructs 
the bodies of three iconic members of our 
pre-historic family:  “Neanderthal”, “Homo Erectus” and “Lucy”.
October 1 - October 30th 2016 11am –2pm Wednesday 
– Sundays in the John Hay Room.

Episode 1 ~ Neanderthal: This episode follows the 
rebuilding of one of our most iconic ancient 
ancestors from the bones up - a Neanderthal. To 
make the reconstructions as accurate as possible, 
hosts Anatomist Professor Alice Roberts and 
Biologist Dr. George McGavin travelled the globe 
gathering evidence from the world's leading scientists.

Episode 2 ~ Homo Erectus:  We are going back 1.5 
million years to meet one of the earliest humans. 
They walked the earth far longer than any other 
human species and were the first ancestors to 
look a lot like we do today. The species is Homo 
erectus and the individual being reconstructed is known as Nariokotome Boy.

Episode 3: Lucy:  We meet the most famous of all 
our early ancestors. She is Lucy, from the 
species Australopithecus afarensis and she lived 
3.2 million years ago. Lucy's species traded life 
in the trees for life on the ground, but walking 
upright came at a price and it is one we are still paying today.
Join us every month for compelling, educational 
and visually stunning nature documentaries that 
inspire appreciation, curiosity and stewardship 
of our natural world and its inhabitants.
