What Were Humans Doing 10,000 Years Ago?

April 1, 2024

In this compelling video, we embark on a journey back in time to around 10,000 years ago, a pivotal era when humans had dispersed across the globe following the conclusion of the last glacial period. It was a time of remarkable advancement and flourishing for our ancestors, marked by the emergence of sophisticated technologies, the integration of symbolism into daily life, and the dawn of agriculture.

During this epoch, humans engaged in interbreeding with local hominid populations such as Neanderthals and Denisovans, leaving an indelible mark on our genetic heritage that persists in modern populations to this day. The transition from the last glacial period to an interglacial epoch was precipitated by changes in the Earth's orbit and its orientation to the sun, resulting in the melting of glaciers and a subsequent rise in sea levels that submerged vast expanses of land.

One such submerged region was Doggerland, situated between the British Isles and Northern Europe, where the Maglemosian culture thrived. Descendants of Magdalenian populations who once hunted now-extinct megafauna, the Maglemosian people exhibited remarkable ingenuity, crafting intricate tools from stone microliths, bone, and antler. Their diet consisted of a diverse array of animals including deer, rabbits, and fish.

Notably, this era witnessed the emergence of the earliest weapons of war, represented by drilled round stones likely utilized as mace heads. Overall, this period was characterized by a flourishing of human civilization, marked by innovative technological advancements and the development of novel ways of life. Join us as we delve into the depths of history to uncover the complexities and triumphs of our ancient ancestors.
