The Incredible Human Journey (2009)

Episode Overview

As humans first settled in Europe, they faced the looming onset of the Ice Age and encountered a formidable competitor: the Neanderthals. These rivals were not only well-adapted to the frigid environment but also possessed a surprising level of intelligence, contrary to the common stereotype. The challenge for these early European explorers was to navigate both the Neanderthal presence and the harsh, icy conditions as they made their way across the continent.
