By peering deep into humankind's past and dragging clues out into the light, science can now provide some of the answers to the questions that people have always asked. Who are we? Where do we come from? What does it mean to be human? Join Professor Alice Roberts live on stage for an all new show exploring humankind, genetics and archaeology.

From the first spark of life on earth 3.8 billion years ago, Professor Roberts tracks the evolution and connectivity of all living things. Follow in the footsteps of humankind's ancestors from Africa into Asia and around the Indian coastline, to Australia, north into Europe and Siberia, and, eventually, to the last continents to be peopled: the Americas. Meet some other human species along the way, examine the sophistication of some of the earliest civilisations, and explore how people know what they know and why they think what they think, what the science can tell.

This is the story of us, from single cell to civilisation.

Team Melbourne

Hello, Melbourne lovers! I'm your dedicated scout on the "Whats On 365" Team, weaving through the vibrant streets of Melbourne to find you the ultimate deals.

Whether it's exclusive discounts on boutique fashion, a sale on chic home decor, or a gourmet steal at the Queen Victoria Market, I'm your eyes and ears on the ground. I celebrate the spirit of Melbourne by highlighting local finds that range from hidden street art alleys to the coziest bars with the best happy hours. In my leisure time, you can find me basking in the greenery of the Royal Botanic Gardens, cheering at an AFL game, or immortalizing Melbourne's electric city vibes through my camera lens.

For a slice of Melbourne's diverse culture and shopping insights, follow me. I promise to bring you not just the pulse of the city's shopping scene but also the lifestyle that makes Melbourne unique.
