First Peoples is a five-part PBS television documentary program about the first people on the Earth. The program aired in 2015.[1] It shows how humans reached each continent, focusing on various fossil discoveries and placing them into the context of what research has discovered about pre-modern human migration. The program includes interviews with many of the researchers involved in these studies,[2] such as geneticists Svante Pääbo and Eske Willerslev and anthropologists John D. Hawks[3] and Nicole Waguespack.[4]
