Man on Earth is a four-part British documentary television series presented by Tony Robinson.
[1] Accompanying Robinson to help explain the science are archaeologist Jago Cooper and climate modeller Joy Singarayer.
[2] Sam Wollaston of The Guardian said the programme is "interesting and intelligently done – no embarrassing reconstructions with hairy chaps brandishing spears and grunting".
[6] However, Jeremy Clay of the Leicester Mercury felt that the programme covered much of the same material as the BBC's The Incredible Human Journey, which aired earlier in the year.
Clay was also not confident in the choice of Tony Robinson as the presenter saying that he "exudes enthusiasm rather than authority, and delivered some of his facts to camera with the air of a man who's only recently heard them himself".
