Unlock the secrets of our prehistoric past through the lens of groundbreaking genetic research. This documentary follows scientists at Trinity College Dublin and across Europe as they extract DNA from the "Petrus" bone to reveal the true faces of our ancestors. From the dark-skinned hunter-gatherers of the Mesolithic to the shocking discovery of elite incest within the royal chambers of Newgrange, we explore how migration and DNA are rewriting the history of the Western world.
