May 12, 2024 | Documentary: “Teilhard: Visionary Scientist”

You may have heard of Peking Man, a breakthrough “missing link” in paleontology and the study of human evolution, but did you know that a Catholic priest was integral to that discovery in 1929 in China? Catholic Review Editor Christopher Gunty talks with Frank and Mary Frost, producers of “Teilhard: Visionary Scientist,” a documentary about Jesuit scientist Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, who was part of the crew that discovered Peking Man and whose explorations in science and spirituality continue to inspire today. The new documentary premieres on Maryland Public Television May 19.
