[ Man Narrating ] Dinosaurs have long since vanished from the earth,
and our primitive ancestors share the planet...
with animals that have already evolved into familiar forms.
But there exists a race with whom man will not share,
and there is conflict in the land.
Man has mastered fire and can make tools and weapons from stone.
The simple man-apes know nothing of tools or weapons,
and in the competition for food and shelter, they are no match for man.
[ Zebra Snorts ]
The sound and scent of man are everywhere.
At night, his fires have become beacons on the edges of the man-ape's shrinking world.

and the lions and hyenas have had their fill.
Only one has survived the slaughter.
He is the last of his race.

The ax still carries the scent of his enemy and the blood of his mate.
But what it is, he cannot know.
It is an object full of mystery.

[ Narrator ] He cannot remain where his clan once lived.
The presence of man is everywhere.
If he stays, he is sure to be killed.
Tonight, he'll be safe in the upper branches of a tree.
But tomorrow, he must go in search for others of his kind...
and a place where they can live in peace.

among the herds and families that live on the plains.
He has the gentle nature of a race that had no defense against the violence of man.
Now he is more alone than he knows.

The man-ape must move on.
On the edge of the oasis lies a desert wilderness.
It's a new world for him and tempting to explore.

[ Narrator ] Here, at the edge of his world,
the man-ape's journey has ended,
and so too the monumental journey of the gentle race...
that shared the planet with man for nearly two million years.
Rooted in their own primordial past,
they could not survive into the violent future that belongs to mankind.
