In the documentary scientists aim to answer which one from Lucy all the way to Kenyanthropus platyops led to humans, they all exhibited bipedalism and chimp sized brains. The scientists explained the one key difference is the length of the childhood between apes and humans. They know that chimps are fully development by 3 years of age, while in humans the growth is slow, taking up to 2 decades to fully develop. Scientists argued that this change in climate pushed the brain to grow. Better problem solvers like Homo habilis survived, whereas A. afarensis died out.
