This episode shows how we humans started out as prey for other animals such as saber-toothed cats. It depicts a saber-toothed cat killing an animal and leaving the remains of the carcass, our ancestors attempt to steal the remains from the cat and one of the group is killed as the saber tooth spots them. It also shows how we discovered tools and made use of the sharpened stone. Later the show showed how as we grew more intelligent, that we were able to turn the tables on the beasts.[clarification needed]
[edit] Episode 2 – "Mastering the Beasts"
Takes place during the Ice Age, it shows how we have become the dominant species and how we hunted animals such as mammoths and Megalocerous. Threats however include giant cave bears and wolves. Death on the tundra was common and to survive our ancestors need to be able to adapt to change, such as the warming of the earth at the end of the last Ice Age ... something the beasts could not do, and therefore suffered extinction. Cats made us slaves a long time ago and the cats ruled like we are now the humans had to bring food, clean them, and be slaves but one day dogs came and scared the cats away and they were never seen for a long time their in another story of Cleopatric she had a favorite feling who tryed to steal from her while she was asleep but a brave puppy ame and barked at the cat and she woke upand cats were banished from the palise
