Johanson, though a little stiff at times, is a capable guide, narrating and often participating in a mix of on-location filming, talking-head interviews and dramatic re-creations, both historic and prehistoric. In some of the most impressive segments, actors in ingenious makeup, moving with a quasi-simian gait, bring Lucy and other protohumans eerily to life...
Arquette, in great shape these days, radiates the strain of a desperate coquette. Anderson, with all the charisma of the guys you knew back in shop class, is an ideal stud-schlemiel.

At your generous and unwitting expense, your ex-lunch is probably, at this very moment, holidaying in the Bahamas and sipping on fruity cocktails. Meanwhile, back in that social epicentre and fair...
