The search for the ultimate answer has taken a number of twists and turns, with careers made and broken along the way. Ape to Man is the story of the quest to find the origins of the human race – a quest that spanned more than 150 years of obsessive searching. Ape to Man is a world premiere on The History Channel on August 7 at 9-11 pm ET/PT. (Source: The History Channel)
