How Did Humans Survive the Ice Age Without Freezing to Death? How It Transformed Modern Construction

Описание: Twenty-five thousand years ago, humans faced temperatures of -40°F with nothing but stone tools, yet they didn't just survive—they thrived. This documentary reveals how Ice Age people engineered sophisticated mammoth bone houses, invented layered clothing systems, and discovered geothermal principles that wouldn't be formally understood for millennia. Through archaeological evidence from sites across Europe, we discover how these ancient survival techniques—from underground shelters to entrance airlocks—are now revolutionizing modern construction in places like Alaska, northern Canada, and even Switzerland. The story traces humanity's most ingenious innovations from the frozen steppes of prehistoric Ukraine to contemporary earth-sheltered homes and Arctic entries used by millions today. It's a testament to human adaptability and brilliance, showing how our ancestors' desperate fight for survival created solutions we're still learning from 25,000 years later.
