On The River Of History

This episode traces the lives of humans during the last glacial period of the Ice Ages particularly in the regions where polar conditions were most prevalent In Europe we trace the lineages of forager peoples from the Aurignacians to the Magdalenians and learn about their toolkits hunting strategies and artworks including the spectacular cave paintings In Siberia we examine several different cultures that adapted to the expansive steppes In North America we look at the Clovis culture and come to understand how the first Americans lived in their world History is covered from 39000 to 12500 years agoTranscript httpsriverofhistorytumblrcompost184021186461episode10lifeduringtheiceagesLinks and References Mentioned Chauvet Cave redating httpswwwpnasorgcontent113174670Leroy McDermontt Venus figurines httpssteemitcomsciencedeeallenselfportraitsoffertilitysymbolsvenusfigurinesofupperpaleolithiceurasianudityMissing Fingers on Hand Stencils httpslinkspringercomarticle1010072Fs4198201800168Lascaux star map httpnewsbbcco
