Over a hundred thousand years ago on the grassy plains of Pleistocene Africa, an early Homo sapiens woman must fend off a pride of attacking lions.
Did you know that, during the Pleistocene epoch, African lions could grow much larger than they do now? One specimen from Kenya known as the Natodomeri lion, which lived about two hundred millennia ago, could have weighed up to eight hundred pounds, much more massive than living lions and more on par with the giant “cave lions” of Eurasia as well as the American lion during the same epoch. Imagine the first of our species having to contend with those!
