This is a "Persistence Hunt" of a Male Kudu by tribesman of the San on the Kalahari Desert of Africa from one of BBC's specials.
Running on two feet over long distances is more efficient than four. Man's extra limbs can be used to carry water, the Kudu cannot.

Live demonstration of a brain-controlled Adams Family pinball machine by imagined movements at the CeBit IT fair 2010 in Hannover. While the player imagines left and right hand movements, algorithms decode his brain activity signals in realtime into control signals for the pinball machine. The demonstration shows the cutting edge performance of a brain-computer interface system with regard of timing precision of the control signal. Other (slower) applications are developed for communication needs of e.g. paralized patients.

Was Darwin the most revolutionary scientist ever?
If, by revolutionary, we mean the scientist whose discovery initiated the most seismic overturning of pre-existing science, the honour would at least be contested by Newton, Einstein and the architects of quantum theory.
Those same physicists might have outclassed Darwin in sheer intellectual fire power. But Darwin probably did revolutionize the world view of people outside science more comprehensively than any other scientist.
This is a documentary about a boy (Ben Underwood) who has taught himself to use echo location to navigate around the world. Ben Underwood is blind, but has managed to do some truly extraordinary feats
Three bold new research programmes focusing on devastating neurodegenerative diseases - Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and motor neurone disease - have received major funding from the Wellcome Trust and the Medical Research Council.
Here, we speak to Professor Christopher Shaw at the Institute of Psychiatry, London, who explains the terrible effects of motor neurone disease and how the latest genetic breakthroughs will allow his assembled team to gain insight into the precise causes and mechanism of this disease.
In 2008 a team of scientists warned that a large earthquake could hit Haiti. Local geologist Carol Prentice, who was part of that team, discusses how they came to that conclusion and how the Bay Area could be next.
The aftermath of the earthquake in Haiti has been devastating. The Academy is part of San Franciscos Haiti Earthquake Relief program; we have a coin collecting machine on-site to collect donations to assist four different organizations.
