Why You Wouldn’t Survive One Night in the Ice Age

How long would you last in the Ice Age? In a hoodie at -40°F, your skin starts freezing in under 5 minutes. You wake up in Alaska, 20,000 years ago, in the middle of winter. No jacket. A woolly mammoth just walked past you in the fog. Every stage, you get one thing your Ice Age ancestors really had: a snow hole, sewn furs, fire, the river, a hunt, other people, a house made of mammoth bones, a freezer dug into the ground. And a clock tells you how long each one buys you. The heat leaving your body, shown in thermal. The mammoth hunt, shown. A house built from mammoth skulls, one bone at a time. A lion at the door. And a final score. What's the coldest you've ever been? And if you could bring back one modern thing, would it be a lighter, a down jacket or a steel knife? Tell me.
