| Summary: | Revealing the workings of the human body on a scale never seen before, this is the most comprehensive story yet of how our unique and amazing bodies make us who we are. Breathtaking CGI takes viewers inside the body to show how different parts of our anatomy have evolved and why. Extraordinary scientific images of the body reveal its most unusual and bizarre workings in minute detail. Human behavior is shown in super-slow motion, revealing elements of ourselves that we are completely unaware of, while footage of people around the world illustrates the universality of our experiences and how some can do amazing things, live in incredible places and push their physiology to the limits, all thanks to the highly evolved machine that makes we humans the world's most successful animal. In this episode, Michael Mosley reveals how the body defends itself, and the innovations behind a hand transplant operation. |
