A family greets the hunters returning to camp.
The geographic and environmental setting is based, in part, on evidence from the Bluefish Caves site even though such a site was more likely used by one or two foraging hunters rather than as a camp for an entire family. While the reconstruction portrayed is speculative, remains of extinct Late Pleistocene animals, such as horse and mammoth, were found at the site.
Given the rigorous climate at the time, it is reasonable to assume that tailored skin clothing was essential for survival as well as a wide range of other cold climate cultural adaptations. It is further inferred that it was just such small groups of highly mobile big game hunters who gradually spread out of Asia into Beringia and eventually pioneered the human settlement of the Western Hemisphere.
