Facebook Watch is continuing its push into original programming, and specifically animation, with the arrival of Human Discoveries this July 16th. This new series follows up on the 2018 animated efforts Liverspots and Astronots and Human Kind Of, and while those shows are still pending a renewal, this new prehistoric story will be premiering this summer. And we've got the first image to share with you today!

Human Discoveries is an animated series featuring a group of friends living at the dawn of human civilization. Of course, they're the first to discover necessities like fire and the wheel. But, much more importantly, we'll watch as they stumble onto humanity's best, and worst, innovations. Art. Alcohol. Fashion. Racism. Small talk. And, much to their confusion, monogamy.

The series stars Zac Efron (The Greatest Showman, Baywatch), Anna Kendrick (Pitch Perfect, Up in the Air), Lamorne Morris (New Girl, Valley of the Boom), Jillian Bell (Rough Night, 22 Jump Street), and Paul Scheer (The League, Fresh Off the Boat). We don't have a breakdown of the cast and their characters just yet, but we're going to assume that Efron and Kendrick voice the central characters while Scheer is obviously the musclebound attractive hunter-type, because art imitates life, right? Look for the new series on Facebook Watch premiering July 16th and check out the first-look image below:
