A ninth Doctor adventure, featuring the Doctor as played by Christopher Eccleston and his companion Rose. Reports of a time disturbance lead the Doctor to modern-day London, where he discovers a Neanderthal Man, 28 thousand years after his race became extinct. A trip back to the dawn of humanity only deepens the mystery: who are these strange humans from the far future now living in the distant past? The Doctor must learn the truth about the Osterberg experiment before history is changed forever.
