3) Video #1: About bipedalism with the Australopitheci, the first hominids 

3) Video #2: About the origins of the Earth, the life on our planet and the human evolution. It is funny and didactical, so it will help you to understand the contents of our unit ;-)

5) Video #4: About the discovery of fire by the Homo Erectus
