Human evolution for the man in the street

I only just (15 minutes ago!) stumbled onto this delightful comedy series examining human evolution on BBC radio 4.

The ape that got lucky, presented by Chris Addision is a 4 part series looking at the natural history of Homo sapiens, Top Species (Capital 'T', Capital 'S'), with a 30 minute installment each week. Its a stand up comedy of course, but that's just fine for the guy in the street who most likely will not pick up a scholarly anthropology or human behaviour tome.

Digestible nuggets of information cunningly disguised with mirth inducing sketches. I like humour and I like science, so this is a gem. Enjoy!
