Narrator: Have you ever thought about where you came from?
你從哪裡來的，你知道嗎? No, I don't mean your home. And I'm not talking about
your parents. No, not grandma and grandpa... or their parents…. Or their parents either!

I'm talking about the very first people, like us, ever on Earth!
我是問人類從哪裡來!

The first ones ever appeared on earth about 200,000 years ago!
人是20萬年前出現的!
Woah! That's a long time, huh? But actually the earth has been around for much, much, much longer than that.

The earth began about 4.6 BILLION years ago! 地球已經46億歲了!
So actually, when you think about it, we haven't been around that long.

In fact, we came after plants, trees, fish, lizards, dinosaurs, giraffes, birds, cats, apes and many more!
魚,鳥,貓, 牠們都比我們老.
Humans are kind of like the new kid on earth.

But where did humans like us first call home? 人類最早出現在哪裡?
For a long time, researchers believed humans first appeared in Africa. 是從非洲來的.

But now, some people think they know exactly which part of Africa …
by a huge lake in a country called Botswana.
在非洲波札納，一個超大的湖附近。

Some believe this lake was so big you could fit seven and a half Taiwans in it! Wooo!
這個湖有7.5個台灣大!

Thousands of years later, maybe because the lake dried up or because humans were looking for food, or maybe because they were just bored, people moved away. They spread out through Africa and then on to the rest of the world too.

Have you ever thought about what it was like to live thousands and thousands of years ago?
