You're about to see something truly astounding, a discovery that's caused an absolute sensation. One that could have untold significance for every one of us.

They could just be the missing link between man and ape, the holy grail scientists have sought for generations. They're living, breathing men and women, but they walk on all fours, just as we did four million years ago. And until this film was shot, they were hidden away, unseen by the outside world.
