《人类诞生》一连三集纪录片由日本NHK与台湾公共电视合作，从科学上最新的研究发现出发，探索人类演化的过程。此系列与享誉国际的日本游戏动画公司共同携手打造，利用超高画质、超精细电脑动画和尖端视觉特效，拟真重现洪荒时代。透过研究人员的科学实验与分享，观众将见证到人类在演化过程中的各种关键时刻，了解远古智人的生存法则。
从最早在非洲发现的原始人，到现今遍布世界各地的人类，这可是一场人类百万年来的精彩演化的历程！这段充满逆转与反击的过程中，人类克服了接二连三的危机，展开精彩绝伦的冒险故事。
从数百万年前第一个已知的原始人种出现在非洲大陆之后，他们的后代也开始有了不同的分支，然而这众多人种分支却只有一支存活下来。就目前的最新研究显示，至少有20种不同的人种曾经生存在地球上，甚至有部分人种是与其他人种共存于同一时期，为了生存而彼此竞争。最后，其他人种陆续灭亡，只有智人幸存了下来。本系列将探讨人类学的伟大奥秘：究竟是何种特质、何种条件，以及哪些关键事件让智人先祖得以生存下来。最后，观众将会发现，原来远古祖先遗传给后人的某些特质，也正是他们当时得以存活的重要关键。

An extraordinary journey exploring several million years of human evolution; from the earliest hominid born in Africa to our species that in the end explosively spread across the globe. In their story full of reversals and amazing comebacks, incredible dramas unfold as they survive crisis after crisis. Ultra-high resolution, super-elaborate computer imageries and cutting-edge VFX footage created by world's renown game creators based on various discoveries from latest research will take viewers to hyper realistic worlds that prehistoric hominids and our direct ancestors may have seen. The viewers witness the pivotal moments in the evolutionary path to us modern humans unfold on screen and also experience for themselves what may have happened on the great journey of our ancestors through researchers' experimental approaches.

After the first known hominid species appeared on the African continent several million years ago, their offspring species branched into some lineages that all went extinct except for one. As far as the latest research has revealed, at least twenty different species once lived on Earth, and some of them lived at the same ages, competing among them for survival. In the end, only Homo sapience survived and all the others were gone. The series explores the great mysteries of anthropology; what traits, what environmental conditions, and what chance events happened to ensure the survival of our lineage. In the end the viewers will understand some traits we inherited from our distant ancestors were the key to their survival...
