These two documentaries trace the origins of humanity, human migration, and with Diamond's documentary, the roots of human inequity. Neither is perfect, and I find the "Journey of Man" host especially annoying, but they provide some interesting theories.
I've post the first videos for both and if you're interest you should be able to navigate the entire documentary.
I would highly recommend the book Guns, Germs, and Steel, it does a better job than the movie outlining Diamond's theory and addressing counter-arguments.

You can use the first video to get up through five. Here is six.
Journey of Man
This host is really frustrating.
