This "Secrets of the Dead" special paints a portrait of a missing link in the evolution of humans using forensic techniques. After 13 bones were found in a volcanic layer dating back at least 6 million years in Kenya in December 2000, scientists nicknamed this earliest hominid the "Millennium Man." Scientists believe that further study of these bones will rewrite the story of human evolution.
