The journey starts in Tanzania (to illustrate the Out of Africa migration) before moving to the coast of South India. Wood visits the ancient tribal communities of the Nilgiri Hills and the stone tools of Attirampakkam. The episode concludes with the dawn of agriculture in Mehrgarh (modern-day Pakistan), setting the stage for the Indus Valley Civilization. The highlight is Wood’s emotional reaction to seeing a 5,000-year-old seal from Mohenjo-Daro.
