Colours of Life

Available on Prime Video, BBC Select
S1 E2: The raw, early Earth had plenty of color, but nothing compared with what was going to come. Green is the color of the natural world and yet it's the one color that plants have evolved not to use. Helen Czerski reveals the complex story of Earth’s natural colors and how the huge diversity of human skin tones reveals how humanity spread and ultimately conquered the planet.
