9:00 PM FIRST PEOPLES: ASIA
Asia - What happened when we expanded out of Africa and into Asia
-- where did we go and whom did they meet along the way? The
latest evidence suggests we left far earlier than previously thought
and interbred with a newly-discovered type of ancient human -- the
Denisovans. The existence of these people was only established four
years ago, when geneticists extracted DNA from a tiny fragment of
finger bone. And because our ancestors mated with them, their
genes found a home within our DNA. More than that, they've helped
us survive and thrive. Australia - When Homo sapiens arrived in
Australia, they were - for the first time - truly alone, surrounded by
wildly different flora and fauna. How did they survive and populate a
continent? There is a close cultural and genetic link between the
First Australians and modern-day Aborigines -- the ancient and
modern story intersect here as nowhere else in the world. The
secret to this continuity is diversity. Intuitively, they found the right
balance between being separate and connected. (Repeats 7/2 at

Liberator, a powerful voice for the movement; Harriet Beecher
Stowe, whose first trip to the South changes her life and her writing;
and John Brown, who devotes his life to the cause. The abolitionist
movement, however, is in disarray and increasing violence raises

India who comes home to Seattle, and an uncontrollable outbreak at
the nation's most prestigious hospital, where 18 patients were
mysteriously infected and six died, despite frantic efforts to contain
the killer bacteria. Fueled by decades of antibiotic overuse, the crisis
has deepened as major drug companies, squeezed by Wall Street
expectations, have abandoned the development of new antibiotics.

where Steven Spielberg filmed the ultimate shark fright film, Jaws.
What's behind the mysterious arrival of this apex predator in an area
where they've rarely been seen for hundreds of years? Are deadly
encounters with tourists inevitable? To separate fact from fear,
NOVA teams up with leading shark experts in Australia and the
United States to discover the science behind the great white's
hunting instincts. Do sharks ever target humans or is each attack a
tragic case of mistaken identity? Can a deeper understanding of

shark senses lead scientists to design effective deterrents and help
prevent future attacks? With shark populations around the world
plummeting, scientists race to unlock the secrets of these powerful

9:00 PM AMERICAN MASTERS: HARPER LEE: HEY BOO
Reading "To Kill a Mockingbird" has been a national pastime for five
decades -- it is still selling nearly a million copies a year, its classic
popularity and power are a common reference. And the courtroom
image of Gregory Peck, as the passionate Atticus Finch, gave us an
enduring picture for the novel's message. Behind it all was a young
Southern girl named Nelle Harper Lee, who once said she wanted to
be Alabama's Jane Austen. This program explores her life and
unravels its mysteries, particularly why she never published again.
Illuminated with family photos, revealing personal letters and an
exclusive interview with her sister, Alice Finch Lee (100 years old),
the film is steeped in the texture of the novel's Deep South and the
social changes it inspired. Tom Brokaw, Rosanne Cash, Anna
Quindlen, Scott Turow, Oprah Winfrey and Andrew Young reflect on
how "Mockingbird" shaped their lives. (Repeats 7/11 at 2:00am,
