Series concept and production info

Bill Schindler, an associate professor of anthropology at Washington College in Maryland and an experimental archaeologist and survival instructor and anthropologist Cat Bigney undertake a retraction of our ancestors' route of migration. They went through 35,000 miles from East African wild savannah through the MIddle East, frozen Siberian tundra, and then into Alaska and the continental US. The Stone Age journey of the primitive people is recreated without metal weapons or fire, in a way similar to that in which our ancestors undertook the same route 2.6 million years ago. It took Bigney and Schindler seven months to complete the journey, survive and deal with the numerous challenges, hunt for food and make their own clothes without any tools. Even with their extensive theoretical knowledge and hands-on expertise in survival, Schindler and Bigney were sometimes at a loss.

The Great Human Race television series premiered on February 1, 2016. It is produced by National Geographic Studios and Global, and executive produced by Brian Lovett, Peter DeLasho and Robert Palumbo.

Please bring back The Great Human Race. I love this show. One of the best shows on TV. I would watch it over and over. Never gets old. I sure miss it and watch reruns every time I catch it on. Please consider filming a new season. Sincerely Sonya Couch.

Highly informative and entertaining at the same time. Superior program. Definitely want more Cat & Bill but given "the way the world wags"; will not hold my breath.

Bill and Cat are a perfect pair! Both complement each other & are highly qualified! I have learned so much watching the show & have come to realize how super human were our ancestors. Please give us Season 2! Thank you National Geographic! Wisdom is power!

My nine year-old-son and I LOVE watching this show together. Bill and Cat are both very agreeable and not in the least bit annoying. I hope season 2 comes out soon!
