This episode revisits David Attenborough’s celebrated meeting with young gorillas as he explores the story of primates, whose earliest ancestors made their living amongst the treetops. It was there that they evolved binocular vision to precisely gauge distances, alongside a powerful grip for navigating the branches. The primate family showcases remarkable agility, striking vocalizations, and displays of complex social behavior.
