Travel back through history, over 27,000 years into the past, when Arctic glaciers reached as far south as London and people faced a daily struggle not just to survive as individuals, families or groups, but to avoid the ultimate extinction of the species. A key moment in the course of our history saw the two branches of humankind, the Neanderthals and the Cro-Magnons, face-off against the backdrop of perilous cold, harsh conditions and massive predators. But how did our branch of humans survive when so many powerful species did not? Meanwhile, in North America, when the remains of two of the largest predatory mammals of the region are discovered in a cave in Wyoming, experts endeavour to uncover how an ecosystem could support two predators of such size and raw power. The first was a 750lb Mega-Lion and the second an eleven foot-tall bear equipped with huge claws and muscles. By using evidence collected at the site and studying the skeletal design of each combatant, experts are able to recreate a blow-by-blow account of how these two Ice Age monsters fought to the death.
