HUMAN
BBC Earth (DStv Channel 184) | 8PM on Tuesdays from 3 February
Paleoanthropologist Ella Al-Shamahi reveals humanity’s incredible story across 300 000 years of human evolution. Thanks to new discoveries, we’re learning that the story is stranger and more surprising than we ever imagined. When homo sapiens emerged in Africa, we were not alone: there were at least six other human species alive at the time.
Human examines how we went from being just one of many types of human to the dominant form of life on the planet.
Human has a 100% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Los Angeles Times calls it “an exhilarating origin story”; New Scientist “fantastic” and “unusually clear”; and Wall Steet Journal says, “What archaeologists and paleontologists are able to determine now about our ancestors is detective work of a very advanced order, and Human makes it accessible.”

M-Net (DStv Channel 101) | 9PM on Tuesdays from 10 February
Season 3 of Taylor Sheridan’s hit crime series Tulsa King returns Oscar nominee Sylvester Stallone to his role as former New York Mafia capo Dwight “The General” Manfredi, as he works to establish the mob in Tulsa, Oklahoma after doing 25 years in jail.
This season should see Dwight sitting pretty with a legal marijuana distribution business and his love Margaret (Dana Delany from Desperate Housewives) at his side, but FBI Special Agent Musso (Kevin Pollak from The Usual Suspects), who black-bagged Dwight in the S2 finale, is expecting him to turn informant. Dwight’s moves into the alcohol trade are also set to pit him against an unscrupulous foe (Robert Patrick, aka the T-1000 in Terminator 2).
