How Did Prehistoric People Sleep Without Becoming Prey?

How did prehistoric people sleep without becoming prey? When darkness fell, survival depended on more than keeping a fire alive. Explore how early humans chose sleeping places, prepared plant bedding, managed fire and shared the risks of the night. Archaeological evidence and research on living hunter-gatherer communities help us examine what we know, what remains uncertain, and why sleeping together may have mattered. This episode uses AI-generated historical illustrations. Scenes are reconstructions; modern hunter-gatherer comparisons are not direct proof of prehistoric behavior.
