How Did Prehistoric Humans Stay Warm During The Ice Age?

During the last Ice Age, humans faced a threat far more constant than any predator: cold that never let up. With no fur, thin fat reserves, and helpless infants, our species should have been wiped out on the open mammoth steppe. Instead, prehistoric humans built a layered survival system — tailored clothing sewn with bone needles, mammoth-bone shelters, permafrost food caches, and long-distance trade networks that acted as a social safety net. This video explores the real archaeological evidence, from the ivory-beaded burial at Sungir to the bone dwellings of Mezhirich, revealing how Ice Age humans out-engineered one of the harshest climates our species has ever faced.
