Fifteen thousand years ago, Cro-Magnons were the sole human inhabitants of western Europe, hunting megafauna like the woolly mammoth. But life was about to change. This program stunningly dramatizes the rapid ascent of early humans to near-total dominance of their environment. Digitally enhanced reenactments show the impact of inventions such as the spear-thrower and bone needle, as well as the shaman’s role. A Paleo-Indian bison hunt brings home the intelligence, imagination, and ingenuity that enabled humankind to not only survive among the beasts but master them. A Discovery Channel Production. (50 minutes)
