You got a view of life in a foraging society (where everyone isa "generalist"âeveryone knows how to make the tools and weapons,everyone knows how to erect a tepee, everyone knows how to stalkanimals, etc.). In "Ice World" you'll witness life in a somewhatlarger, and therefore somewhat more complex, society like DolniVestoniceâwhere everyone "specializes" in one narrow aspect ofsurvival).
Pay close attentions to the segment of "Ice World" featuringRichard Potts: he contrasts "specialist" species, who thrive in anenvironment and under conditions for which their evolvedcharacteristics happens to ideally suit them / against "generalist"species, whose evolved characteristics happen to allow them tosurvive or even thrive in different environments andconditions.
Question to answer: How is it that the "specialists" atDolni Vestonice were better able to culturally/technologically"adapt" to the stark conditions of the Ice Age than theHunter-gatherer "generalists"?
