Monolith from 2001 A Space Odyssey
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT An ape expert breaks down the iconic opening scene from Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. Written by Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke, 2001: A Space Odyssey is a definitive sci-fi story that’s widely regarded as one of the best and most influential films of all time. This partially comes from 2001's legendary opening scene, “The Dawn of Man”, which features a group of hominins fighting and destroying some bones.
What we see here is a group of hominins in Africa and they’re made to really look like apes. Hominins, of course, are part of our ancestral lineage. Humans are upright and bipedal. This has a more ape-like posturing and movement to them and that is actually based on real anatomy and fossil findings. Humans and apes do share an ancestral lineage and humans are part of the great apes, but that’s not to say humans evolved from apes, which i think is a very common narrative.
So much of what we’re seeing in this scene is actually possible and even probable in some of the ape species. I’m actually going to give this a 5 out of 10 .
