The story begins as apelike proto-humans are starving to death. As a result of their "education" by the aliens through the use of a mysterious monolith, the proto-humans invent the first weapon, killing a tapir for food using the thighbone of a dead animal. In one of the most famous transitions in movie history, the scene ends when one of the "apes" throws his weapon of bone high in the air, where it is transformed into a nuclear weapon orbiting the Earth in space. The movie thus portrays 100,000 years of human evolution as the change from the most primitive to the most advanced weapon.
