How did humans sleep in the ice age without freezing dead? [rxPgzhD5jku]
How did humans sleep in the ice age without freezing dead? The bitter wind howls across the frozen landscape as snow begins to fall heavily on the Eurasian steppe. Temperatures have dropped to -40 degrees Fahrenheit, and for the next six months, this land will be locked in winter's grip. A modern human would last perhaps hours in these conditions without proper shelter and heating. Yet 30,000 years ago, entire families not only survived but thrived through winters like this. So how did our Paleolithic ancestors survive the harshest winters in human history? This documentary debunks the myth of the caveman and reveals the lost engineering of our ancestors. We'll explore the incredible technology behind Paleolithic winter survival, from the semi-subterranean homes of Kostroma to the revolutionary layered insulation at Dolni Vestonice. Discover the secrets of the mammoth bone houses, a feat of ancient architecture that allowed humans to conquer the Ice Age and expand across the globe.
