Description

What happened when an Ice Age fire suddenly died in the middle of winter? Discover how Neanderthals and other ancient humans may have preserved embers, made fire with flint and pyrite, used tinder and manganese dioxide, survived freezing nights, and turned fire into one of humanity’s most important technologies. From prehistoric hearths to Ötzi’s ember-carrying kit, this is the science and archaeology behind surviving when the flames disappeared. #AncientHumans #Prehistory #Neanderthals #IceAge #HumanEvolution #Archaeology #AncientHistory #Survival #Fire #DeepEpoch
