A Family Oceanic (working title)

IN DEVELOPMENT

​

A Nature / Science / Society documentary series exploring surprising new results from the latest top level reseach on human physiology.

​

The past 20 years have seen as shift in how we perceive our common human origins, raising questions around long-held views about the evolution of our species. Do we really know exactly where we come from? How did we become ourselves? The Aquatic Ape is a documentary journey that will examine the idea that we evolved as much in water as on land, and that the adaptations we made to water are still with us today.

​

The series will take the Cheng-Wiik family on a quest each episode (or sometimes a few episodes per story), where they examine an important issue or mystery related to our common deep-rooted relationship to all things water, learning about the natural world and themselves as they continue their family journey, or voyage (sea-travel).
