While much of prehistory is cloaked in mystery, ancient ancestors left evidence in DNA, languages, and materials from their time. Using photographs of items such as cave paintings and ancient tools, as well as maps of linguistic patterns and DNA interpretation, young historians evaluate evidence for what it reveals about our ancestors. They also explore the limitations of the evidence, considering whether we can truly know our ancient past.
