In this episode, we explore how humans survived these icy eras, what they ate, and the incredible creatures they shared the planet with—from woolly mammoths to saber-toothed tigers. Discover the genetic tricks that let humans endure some of history’s harshest climates.

    Why Everyone Outside Africa Comes From Just 150 People

    What if I told you that every single person living outside Africa today—all 6.5 billion of us—descends from a group of just 150 to 300 people who left the continent around 50,000 years ago?
