Looking for Sapiens is about clichés coming from the 19th century that we have about cavemen. Prehistorians and illustrators are interviewed about a more fair vision of these paleolithic populations, based on scientific research.
Does it seem obvious to you that the Caveman wore a small skin suit, a big club, a bone in his nose and his hair in battle? That he didn't have three neurons and barely an understandable tongue? And that he was pulling his wife by the Hair? Well, this movie is for you! All these preconceived ideas you have about Prehistory are false, and we're going to prove it to you... with this documentary !
