Walking with Cavemen

[Jo Blose]

Yes, I'm also jumping on this youtube bandwagon we're having! An excellent BBC TV series aired some time ago called "Walking with Cavemen." This site is concerned with walking with Yowies, so any similarities between the Yowie and what scientists believe our ancestor cavemen were like, is important. Certainly the Yowie shares some physical attributes to some of these cavemen, so it is interesting to compare the differences in our hominid ancestors and what traits any of them may share with our current Yowie friend.

It's available to buy on DVD from all good retailers and Ebay, but for those who'd like a glimpse, youtube caters: On youtube it's in parts, so here's the first of three parts of the first act:

Hey JB, I just now watched these this morning, and I must say, the special effects are out of this world. Don't see how they do it!

All men and women in costumes Ella, with computer special effects used to make them a lot smaller in some instances. The producers felt actors in costumes would add an element of realism to the hominids that CGI cannot accomplish yet. I think they were right. Oh, and please excuse my name changes, my identity crises will pass!

No problem, Steve, your picture lets everybody know who you are!
