Have started watching "Human", the BBC series on the history of the human species (plural).
Guardian article here, @ https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2025/jul/14/human-review-bbc-two-iplayer-history-at-its-most-irresistibly-infectious
Although I am already a keen student of human evolutionary history, I am learning a lot that is new to me from this series. It is beautifully presented, both in terms of the filming, and also by the arresting personality of Ella Al-Shamahi.
From Wikipedia,
As a child, Al-Shamahi was a devout Muslim who wore the hijab from the age of seven and began missionary work throughout Britain at the age of 13. Her biology studies at Imperial College London were undertaken with the eventual aim of disproving evolutionary theory, but she soon came to believe that the theory was correct and her later studies would further distance her from her faith. As of 2025, she described herself as a "non-practicing Muslim." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ella_Al-Shamahi
