You may think Paleolithic people were just grunting “cavemen” in caves, slurping meat and living as brutes... Think again! In this video I talk about 10 myths about Paleolithic life: about diet, art, bodies, minds, and the whole “caveman” narrative. They all shout the same thing: these were not beasts waiting for civilization. They were people like us, thinking, dreaming, painting, sharing, caring.

In the African Palaeolithic, the first chapter of human history, survival shaped thought. Across the plains of Eastern and Southern Africa, chipped stone met bone, and instinct slowly gave way to imagination. The earliest tools, unearthed by archaeologists today, are more than objects—they are confessions of existence. This is where our story began. This is where art was born.Consider checking: Buymeacoffee, Ko-fi, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram

The site has 7 hills and over 750 rock shelters distributed over 10 km. Some of the shelters were inhabited more than 100,000 years ago. Each one was a home, a canvas. These rocks witnessed the first humans of India strike fire from flint, hunt deer, sleep with their faces lit by embers. And one day, one of them picked up a red stone and began to draw.Consider checking: Buymeacoffee, Ko-fi, Patreon, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram
Imagine snow and cold, nothing but the whistling of a wind. That was Japan, wild and empty, 30,000 years ago. Somewhere in the shadow of those tall mountains, they carved stone, shaped little figures: maybe gods, maybe dreams, maybe nightmares.

Out there, where the wind breaks your bones and the snow never ends, people still carved beauty out of ivory. Hunters, mothers, children — they laughed, they froze, they made art.

Clothes kept us alive. Ice ages came and went, and we had to deal with the cold or die. Ian Gilligan is a researcher who says it straight: we invented clothes to fight the cold, nothing else. He digs through the evidence, and there's more out there than people think. Once the world warmed, weaving and fibre work showed up, and from that came farming. Gilligan ties it all together, simple and clear.Consider checking: Buymeacoffee, Ko-fi, Patreon, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram

The Cougnac Caves guard secrets older than history itself. Here, on walls untouched for tens of thousands of years, hunters left their stories in paint and scratch. Among the herds of deer, ibex, and mammoths, one figure draws the eye: a man, pierced by spears, silent across millennia. What happened? Who was he?
