What Did Ancient Humans Do When the Rain Wouldn't Stop?

Imagine a week of nonstop rain with no roof, no lighter and no forecast. For most of human history, a storm like that could kill you three different ways. So how did anyone make it to the morning after? This video follows one rainy week, night by night, through the real evidence ancient people left behind. We look at the hidden danger in a leopard-bitten skull, a 400,000-year-old discovery that rewrote the story of fire-making, the oldest known cord, 77,000-year-old bug-repelling beds, and cave art painted deep in the dark. And at the center of it all is a small birch-bark cup carried by a man frozen in the Alps 5,300 years ago, with fresh maple leaves and charcoal inside.
