Steve Backshall and Michaela Strachan travel the world to discover how Neanderthals and Homo sapiens survived at a time of brutal environmental change and uncover why we, Homo sapiens, survived while the Neanderthals were wiped off the face of the Earth. Steve heads to southern Germany, which is a hotbed of early human discoveries. In the freezing temperatures of the snow-lined valleys, Steve throws himself into Ice Age life, exploring how early humans evaded the mighty Ice Age predators such as the supersized cave bears and giant hyenas that stalked the freezing wastelands. In a battle against the elements and predators, Steve discovers how Neanderthals made fire in a surprisingly sophisticated way and crafted tools so sharp you could shave with them! Meanwhile, Michaela gets to grips with the differences between Neanderthals and Homo sapiens.
