What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this docuseries -- which looks at how humans and animals may have evolved from various species that lived billions of years ago -- features scientific explanations that are relatively easy to follow. But younger kids may not be able to grasp everything or simply may not be interested. Some brief-but-violent images of animals hunting and/or viciously eating their prey may be scary for young or more sensitive viewers. And some viewers may find the use of live animals in some of the featured research projects upsetting. But tweens and teens who are interested in biology, anthropology, and/or paleontology may be hooked.
Violence:
Animals are shown chasing, attacking, and violently eating their prey. One research experiment requires snakes to be force fed pieces of meat, while another project features a cow that had a large hole purposely cut into her side and sealed with a removable plug to allow easy access to her stomach.
