You Wake Up in 20,000 BC. How Long Do You Survive?

#TheoRetical You wake up. Something huge is breathing behind you. It's 20,000 BC, and your first night could be your last. Jeans, a hoodie, sneakers. No knife, no lighter, no way back. It's the peak of the last Ice Age, in what will one day be France, and you've brought twenty thousand years of knowledge with you. Fire, medicine, farming. You'll be the smartest person here. Right? Then the cold starts making decisions for you. A band of hunters lets you sit near their fire, just about, and an eight-year-old turns out to be far better at staying alive than you. Theo tests farming, medicine and hunting, meets rabbit starvation, cave lions and wolves, and finds out what keeps you alive out here. Spoiler: it isn't being clever.
