Signs Out of Time - The Story of Archaeologist Marija Gimbutas

Formato: DVD

Ano: 2003

Synopsis: Signs Out of Time, a film by Donna Read and Starhawk, examines the life and work of world-renowned archaeologist Dr. Marija Gimbutas. Drawing from her extensive knowledge of mythology and linguistics, Lithuanian-born Gimbutas uncovered the life-affirming and goddess-worshipping civilizations of pre-historic “Old Europe.” Weaving together footage of Gimbutas herself, as well as interviews with her supporters and critics, Signs Out of Time reveals a visionary scholar whose theories challenged the “establishment” of her time and influenced a generation of scholars, feminists, and social thinkers.

Sinopse: Muitos cientistas acreditam que os primeiros seres humanos surgiram na África Oriental. Se isso for verdade, por que os humanos são encontrados em quase todos os lugares do mundo?

No documentário "A Origem do Homem" entenderemos as respostas para essas e outras questões, utilizando as mais recentes pesquisas nos campos da genética e antropologia. Qual foi a causa do grande êxodo desses seres humanos? Como conseguiram povoar quase toda a extensão da Terra? Como nossos corpos adaptaram-se com o passar do tempo ao meio ambiente? Descubra de onde viemos em "A Origem do Homem" (The Real Eve - A Verdadeira Eva).

Synopsis: The made-for-cable documentary film The Real Eve is predicated on the theory that the human race can be traced to a common ancestor. The mitochondrial DNA of one prehistoric woman, who lived in Africa, has according to this theory been passed down from generation to generation over a span of 150,000 years, supplying the "chemical energy" to all humankind. The film was assembled by Oxford-based tropical pediatrician Stephen Oppenheimer, author of -The Peopling of the World; he appears on camera along with Dr. Nina Jablonski of the California Academy of Science. A coproduction of Britain's @Granada Television and America's @Discovery Channel, The Real Eve made its first U.S. cable appearance on April 21, 2002. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
