As humans evolved they competed with other predators for food. They were not the largest nor fastest but they became the most intelligent and most effective because they developed a skill in tracking their prey. There are pockets of indigenous people who still rely on their skills to hunt animals for their live- lihood. Amongst the Kalahari Bushmen of Africa, the Aborigines of arid Australia and the Inuit of the Arctic, the ability to read the earth survives. Tracking examines the skills of these people, from vastly different environments around the world. Although Tracking is the story of people who have a deep understanding of animal behaviour, it is also the story of animals and their behaviour,  shown through the eyes of these remarkable people.
