FAMILY THAT WALKS ON ALL FOURS
Tuesday, November 14 at 8PM ET/PT on PBS
An intense scientific debate has ignited around a quiet but
extraordinary family living in rural Turkey -- a family with five
adults who walk on all fours. Since bipedalism has long been
considered one of the defining characteristics of modern humans,
such a discovery raises fascinating questions about genetics,
society, and the evolutionary history of our species. Is this the
anthropological find of the new millennium, or simply a unique
medical case? NOVA sets out to unravel the controversy and
meet the individuals who have captured the imagination of
scientists around the world.On the web:
