A köbaltás ember - Érdi medvevadászok (S)

The first episode of Stone Axe Man follows series paleo detective: Zoltán Schneider's in the discovery of a 60-thousand-year-old tribe of Neanderthal bear hunters located near Budapest. The first site is an open-air quarry unearthed by Vera Csánk, in 1969, full of stone tools, bones and ashes that point to the existence of an ancient hunting camp. Our detective unveils one tiny detail after another revealing that the bones of at least 500 cave bears were found at the location and why there was an abundance of thigh bones and how we know that the hunters always used to visit the site in early spring. Could the discovery of wolf, lion and hyena claws constitute the first proof that Neanderthals prepared animal fur to protect themselves from the cold? What happened to these hunters? Where did they go during the winter months? This series frees investigations from the confines of archaeologists' offices by reconstructing skinning and chopping using stone tools, showing us which berries and roots our ancestors ate and which wood is the best for making fire. Our witty and enthusiastic detective will hopefully inspire children growing up on internet and mobile phones, to visit forests, and learn about how our ancestors survived ice ages and learn more about the people, to whom, we owe our existence to.
