Uniquely human abilities — to think in symbols; recombine those symbols into infinite meanings; invent a technology to disseminate the message; ponder the past; speculate about the future; imagine the unknown; build cities; compose music — constitute the “human spark.”
In this three-part series, host Alan Alda searches for the origin and nature of this spark.

• "So Human, So Chimp" (Wed., Jan. 13, 8-9pm) Alda joins researchers studying our fellow simians to discover both what we share with them and what new skills humans evolved since we went our separate ways.
• "Brain Matters" (Wed., Jan. 20, 8-9pm) Viewers literally peer into Alda’s head with a variety of high-tech imaging techniques, looking for his human spark.
