Living in the Ice Age

About this book

"It's tempting to think that we can learn little from people who ate and drank, laughed and cried, between 40 and 12, 000 years ago, but I think we should – because these remarkable people not only lived but survived through a period of unimaginable change on our planet." – from the foreword by Chris Packham

Living in the Ice Age takes you on a journey through life in Ice Age Europe, and the things you'd need to know to survive! This book looks at the daily life of biologically modern humans from about 40, 000 to 12, 000 years ago, a time when the climate and environment were changing rapidly. Explore the types of houses, food, clothes and toys people created in the Ice Age to see whether you would have liked to live back then.
