Uniquely in the animal kingdom, humans have managed to adapt and thrive in every environment on Earth, and each episode of Human Planet takes us to the extremes of our planet: the arctic, mountains, oceans, jungles, grasslands, deserts, rivers and even the urban jungle.
In each climate and part of the world, well meet people who survive by building complex, exciting and often mutually beneficial relationships with their animal neighbours and the hostile elements of the natural world.
Human Planet crews have filmed in around 80 locations, and trekked with HD cameras and state-of-the-art gear to film from the air, from the ground and underwater.
The result is a cinematic experience created by world-class natural history and documentary camera crews and programme makers.
