The storytelling and narrative was beyond incredible in this short-episodic but fully immersive serie. As magical as it was to watch, it leaved with a bittersweet aftertaste. All that we see in their acts, the love, the care, the aggression, the fear, the sorrow... and the hunger for power, we see in ourselves. Calculated, strategic and political powerstruggles... between groups, within groups. After all the tens of thousand years we have exists on this planet and yet somehow... we still cannot help ourselves to be just like our closest relatives. It is as if we have learnt nothing. If anything, us decimating their numbers just proves this even more. The mini-serie was such a gem to watch, and is by far definitely one of my favorite documentaries now. It still just makes me sad us humans whom supposedly have "gotten so much further", than our 'cousins', clearly hasn't...
