15,000 years ago, the Cro-Magnons had evolved to become the sole residents of Europe. They had all the abilities of modern humans: the power of speech, reasoning skills, and a belief in the afterlife. But it was still a struggle to survive in a land where large dangerous carnivores competed for living space.

As the humans spread out across the world, they made their way over an ancient land bridge connecting Asia and the Americas: Beringia. Life in the tundra was treacherous, and three stranded women had to use their ingenuity, skill, and sheer guts to survive among the Woolly Mammoths on which they depended for survival.

Moving to North America, the so-called Paleo-Indians developed even more sophisticated weapons and their ability to communicate. They flourished among the waning megafauna like the Giant Ground Sloth. Hunting reached its climax on the Great Plains of North America when two small bands of Paleo-Indians came together for a ritual buffalo hunt, driving hundreds of buffalo off a cliff in a massive slaughter.

Early human's ability to adapt is what pushed them to the four corners of the earth and beyond, Before We Ruled The Earth.

6:00 even cro-magnons were stupid enough to take drugs

Joe Lenihan

Lol definitely not belladonna berries.. probably the least forgiving part of the plant

connorwestgate

They are probably the kind of people that shouldnt take them Haha Probably wouldnt of been able to be a shaman if you couldnt handle your "journeys" either.

Nacherel

Plus some sources claim as little as half a fresh berry can kill you.. scary considering how much potency varies in the solenacea family

connorwestgate

It all depends on alkaloid content.. the only experience iv hade with tropane like drugs are 250mg diphenhydramine which was minor and lasted 8ish hours till I felt asleep, nicotine but I never took it at oral levels some native groups do. the only experience iv had with nightshade type tropanes is homemade pilsenkraut, or henbane beer. iv only had one day experiences with half day long after effects but I personally know and read of people who trip for multiple days and felt effects for months

connorwestgate

And youve experienced this yourself?? Ive never had a trip last longer than half a day.

Nacherel

They atacked bear with fire, but most important: with smoke!

I'm fairly certain Zory is from Harper's Island.

There is evidence for the use of plants for hallucinations, and belladonna was one of them.Marijuana usage by Native Americans is an example and the fact that we still use narcotics as painkillers or hallucinogens.They were not as simplistic as some would think.

Neanderthals fucked the Bush men and they became white men we see today. that's why all non Africans have Neanderthal dna! They "Neanderthals" contributed light skin, hair and light eyes and stronger immune system "able to digest milk" but not enough change to completely change us because the hybrids that were left could only go back to fucking each other and bush men! The pure Neanderthals died out by then.

Homo sapiens have light hair, skin, eyes from fucking Neanderthals, for example Melanesians have light eyes, and blond hair because dna evidence suggest there ancestors interbred with the Denisova hominin who coincidentally are closely related to Neanderthals! They are one of the only dark skin people to have light hair and eyes and have 4% to 6% Denisovan dna.

This Documentary only tells so little of the picture "and with some errors" there where at least 4 to five human species on earth at the end of the ice age Homo sapiens, Homo Rhodesiensis (could be a hybrid but that's what wiki says?), Denisova hominin, Homo Floresiensis, Homo Neanderthalensis, and last but not least Red Dear Cave People that died out some 11,000 years ago. what strikes me as odd is the Homo rhodesiensis that supposedly lasted till the end of the ice age 13,000yrs. 

kenoh89

Man, what does that say about you're status in the band-- "Yo, Zory, go in and check out the cave, you're expendable." I pity the guy.

Atheists barked that life was made on earth they said we HAVE PROOF. so many atheists died and went to hell believing this LIE, now the atheists dint apologise but instead now claim life came from COMETS WE HAVE PROOF. see how they keep sending people to hell with there LIES. last time they said we HAVE PROOF AND FACTS but now theyre saying that was a LIE, but life now came from comets, we can prove this same way they said we can prove life formed on earth. watch out for these satan servers

djdoomy

And now what humans try to escape from? each others national and racial classes....our only natural predator seems to be other humans...we need new lifeforms to be hunted by, or to feed.

whitesmith bonesdark

Thats gaia's voice from god of war ;)

I dated a guy once who looked a little like that Zory dude.

A lot of this "documentary" is bullshit.

laughingmyturbanoff1

If the language is unknown and it's unknown if they had names then what's up with the stupid names the guys in this doc have? Did you just make up something that sounded cave-mannish?
