Human Planet shows how different people have adapted to some of the earth’s harshest conditions from deserts to the Arctic

IT is an eight-part series that took four years to create.
Human Planet on BBC Entertainment every Tuesday at 7 p.m. is an epic show that records how different groups of people have adapted to life in every habitat on earth, enduring some of the planet’s harshest conditions and extreme environments from deserts to the Arctic. Each episode takes you to the extremes of planet earth — the Arctic, mountains, oceans, grasslands, deserts, rivers and even the urban jungle. Here you will 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. The series has been filmed in nearly 80 locations around the world. The crew trekked with high-definition cameras and state-of-the-art gear to film from the air, from the ground and underwater. The result has been a “cinematic experience” of never-before-seen stories of humans thriving in extreme environments.
