I am especially interested in the initial migrations into the Americas 15,000+ years ago, but our community is small and my interests large, so… any great documentaries are welcome.

    There’s a documentary I saw that documented what people in prehistoric times were doing right before they were preserved. For example, there’s one part of it taking place in sixty thousand BC about a little girl who got polio when she was young, and it chronicles how her parents must’ve cared for her because they binge-fed her delicious berries, as seen by the teeth evidence. It’s nice to know people were “remembering the human” even before humans existed and they inspired a few elaborate works of art I made depicting those scenes.

      If you can remember the name, I’d love to check it out. I was a mortician for a decade and was obsessed with stuff like that as a little girl. I have a plethora of knowledge about this stuff but you can never know too much
