Ancient Indians

A high-speed adventure across deep time – full of beasts, battles and the biggest origin story of all
Once upon a time, India had no people at all, at least not people as we know them today. Just giant rhinos, monster snakes, sabre-toothed cats – and somewhere down the line, a gang of archaic humans.
Then the first Homo sapiens showed up. To stay alive, they had to fight for food, dodge beasts and battle rival humans for space.
Fast forward 65,000 years: today, more than a billion Indians call this land home. But how did that happen? Who came first? Who followed? How did they survive?
Join us on a wild detective expedition through time – where scientists crack secrets hidden in bones, words, fossils and ruins.
