How did cavemen survive the winters before they discovered fire? | |

| Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 26959142 United States11/05/2012 02:20 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Animal skin was used to stay warm, but they had to be cold in the first place to invent a way to cover their bodies and stay warm. And when fire wasn't invented yet, how did they eat and keep enough muscle fat to stay warm? Did they eat raw meat, and if so how didn't they get sick? So many questions, it doesn't make any sense to me. You can't survive 24 hrs out in the cold winter without clothes on. |

Manu-Koelbren  User ID: 26978275  Spain11/05/2012 02:23 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The Annunaki were there back then. Banned as usual. “It is far easier to be a weakling than to be a Real Man. Were the Earth less harsh or the circumstances of life less austere, man would destroy himself before the shrine of the languid goddess. Only Real Men can with safety destroy the tangled forests and wilderness of Earth and make from them gardens, but will those who inherit the gardens be Real Men? The law decrees that they must be, or the wilderness will reclaim its own.” |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 18450710 United States11/05/2012 02:31 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm no scientist but isn't this what migration is for? I think there's always been somewhere warm enough to support our ancestors. They must have moved around. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 14458648 Actually, that is what I was about to say. They would like birds migrate down south when they felt a chill coming on. We have been domesticated to stay where we live with AC/Heater. Back then the first signs of cold coming meant...."Hey Cave Brotheren, remember that cave down near that warm area last winter, Let us start moving there". At least something a long those lines. Migration was a big part of how they found a location to call "Home". Or to create "Home". |

To be clear I'm talking about our tiny ancient primate ancestors. The ones that were more monkey like and got much of their protein from scavenging skulls and braining them on rocks. It's been a real long time since humankind wrapped itself up and began using fire. |

| Marax User ID: 25975775 United States11/05/2012 02:42 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | One word.... JESUS!  Gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars. I'd like to go quietly in my sleep, like grandpa did. Not screaming in terror like the people in the back seat of the car he was driving. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 14747183 United States11/05/2012 05:19 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | When did they discover animal skin for clothing, but how did they survive before clothing and fire? Obviously there had to be a point in time where they didn't have these things to keep them warm. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 26959142 Perhaps when we all grew up from being gorillas and having fur all over our body. Perhaps the keeping warn with animal skin was a learned behavior to act as camouflager to catch other animals then it came the norm. Just a hypothesis. |
