Tautavel, living in Europe before Neanderthal

Long before the arrival of Homo sapiens or even Neanderthals, other humans inhabited French territory during intense periods of glaciation. One place in particular has witnessed their passage: the Tautavel cave in France, at the foot of the Pyrenean mountain range. How did these ancient humans survive in such a harsh environment? Based on the latest scientific discoveries, this documentary changes the way we look at these distant ancestors, whose cognitive abilities never cease to amaze us.
