Josie Member Registered: 11/08/05 Posts: 1211 Loc: NJ	This might "spark" some interest starting tonight: lol 9pm ET PBS The Human Spark: Becoming Us Alan Alda explores what differentiates humans from other species in this three-part series, which begins in France's Dordogne region, where humans made spectacular cave paintings and carvings some 30,000 years ago. He compares those humans to Neanderthals, who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years yet had little art and no evolving technology to show for it. Alda ponders when and where the human spark first ignited---whether in the Dordogne caves or even earlier, on a different continent. _________________________ Josie

MustangGal Unregistered	I've been watching a snippet of the shows - hope they have another run of them soon so that I can catch them in their entirety. I have caught the recent ETV Special on Hummingbirds and other wildlife shows.
