Your tooth is on fire. There is no dentist, no pharmacy, and no painkiller waiting in a cabinet. For 99% of human history, this wasn't a bad day. It was just a day. So what did your ancestors actually do? In this video, you'll discover how ancient humans treated pain, wounds, and sickness using tools that sound impossible: fungus carried across the Alps, bark that contains the chemical behind aspirin, living ants used as stitches, and holes cut into skulls. You'll meet Ötzi the Iceman, the Neanderthals of El Sidrón Cave, and the Neanderthal man of Shanidar Cave who survived terrible injuries. And you'll find out why the most powerful medicine in prehistory may not have been a plant at all.
