“Human Race is a deeply fascinating and intriguing film: What an extraordinary man Professor Willerslev is! His microscopic genes turn so much of what we thought about human history upside down. It’s breathtaking.”

Sir Stephen Fry

“Human Race explores some of humanity’s most pressing questions throughout history. What makes us who we are? And why are we the way we are? It isn’t, however, a traditional science movie. The film offers an intimate, unflinching portrait of maverick scientist Eske Willerslev, adding depth to the broader scientific context and profound insights to our understanding of who we are.”

Niklas Engstrøm, Artistic Director of CPH:DOX

“You are captivated from beginning to end.
Despite the lack of fistfights, there is plenty of drama.”

“Human Race elegantly shows that the innermost essence of science
is about man’s fundamental desire to understand his own existence.”

★★★★★

Bo Karl Christensen, Sundhedspolitisk Tidsskrift
