How Did Ancient Humans Kill a Long Winter?

The sun sets at four in the afternoon, and it won't rise again for sixteen hours. No heating. No stockpiled food down the street. Just months of brutal cold, stretching ahead. In this video, you'll discover how ancient humans actually survived Ice Age winters that lasted for months on end. You'll see the real circular dwellings built entirely from mammoth bones at a site called Mezhirich, studied by anthropologist Olga Soffer, and learn what the frozen body of Ötzi the Iceman revealed about ancient layered clothing technology. You'll also explore a stranger possibility raised by archaeologist Juan Luis Arsuaga's research at Sima de los Huesos, that some early humans may have partially slowed their bodies down to survive the harshest months, and discover why surviving winter was never a solo effort.
