From the dawn of our evolution to the modern energy crisis, The Ergonomic Ape uncovers the astonishing forces that made humans the most adaptable primate on Earth. By tracing the moment our ancestors first conserved energy through tools, scavenging, and eventually fire, the film reveals how shortcutting nature’s limits fuelled explosive brain growth and global dominance. But with seven billion people now dependent on external energy to survive, that same success has become a dangerous vulnerability. Both a scientific journey and a warning, this film asks whether the species that mastered energy can now learn to save it before it’s too late. A film by Ivan Crow with Ian Redmond OBE.
