Spoiler-Free Synopsis
Read MoreCollapse
Alan Alda explores what differentiates humans from other species in this three-part series, which begins in France's Dordogne region, where humans made spectacular cave paintings and carvings some 30,000 years ago. He compares those humans to Neanderthals, who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years yet had little art and no evolving technology to show for it. Alda ponders when and where the human spark first ignited---whether in the Dordogne caves or even earlier, on a different continent.

About This Guide
This episode guide brings together the episode runtime, synopsis, series context, and nearby episode navigation for The Human Spark. That gives readers and search engines a clearer relationship between the episode and the parent series instead of treating the page as an isolated record.
Editorial Take
Becoming Us is presented as an episode-level guide that still keeps the parent series context visible, which is important because isolated episode pages can otherwise feel detached and thin. This episode sits at position 1 out of 3, so the page can answer both the runtime question and the progress question at the same time. The 56m runtime is especially useful here because episode search intent is often much more time-sensitive than general series search intent.
