Скачать или смотреть I'm a Dog Archaeologist—Here's What Alpha Got RIGHT (and Wrong) About Ancient Humans and Dogs!

In this episode, archaeologist David Ian Howe tackles the 2018 film Alpha—a visually stunning survival story set 20,000 years ago in Paleolithic France. The plot follows a young hunter separated from his tribe who forms an unlikely bond with a wounded wolf. Together, they must survive the harsh Ice Age wilderness… and in doing so, spark the beginning of one of humanity’s oldest friendships: the domestication of the dog.

But how accurate is Alpha?
Join David as he breaks down the film scene by scene, weaving in real archaeological evidence, stone tool analysis, and ancient canine science to reveal what the movie gets right—and where it takes a few Hollywood liberties.

💬 From flint knapping to the science of wolf domestication, this is the ultimate review for fans of archaeology, dogs, and prehistoric storytelling.
