episode description
The Afar Triangle is one of Earth’s most dramatic construction sites. Here, three rift systems meet above sea level – a geological rarity. As Africa slowly tears apart, scientists trace plate movements that may reshape the continent. At the same time, paleoanthropologists search for humanity’s roots in Ethiopia’s Awash Valley, where “Lucy” was discovered. In the scorching Danakil Depression, researchers even hunt for life in extreme conditions, linking Earth’s deep history with our own origins.
