NEW YORK, NY – In the ice-ravaged wilds of Europe, circa 25,000 BC, it’s a tough time to be alive. Freezing temperatures grip the planet as the peak of the last Ice Age takes hold. Food is scarce, massive predators are on the prowl and a range war like no other raged between two species of primitive man. In a unique moment in the world's history, these two species -- Neanderthal and Cro-Magnon (Homo sapiens) -- competed for resources and for a permanent spot at the top of the animal kingdom. And this July, the epic battle that determined the course of human history comes to rich life with CLASH OF THE CAVEMEN, one of the most lavish and expensive productions to date from HISTORY™. Backed by the latest scientific evidence and cinematic CGI, this special program, arriving on the heels of the theatrical epic 10,000 B.C., will be available for $24.95SRP.

In CLASH OF THE CAVEMEN, journey back with HISTORY™ to the unimaginably hazardous environment in which these proto-men struggled. Featuring exciting, cutting-edge archaeological and anthropological research – including data from the ongoing Neanderthal genome mapping project at Germany’s Max Planck Institute – lending up-to-the-minute realism and accuracy, home viewers get a front row seat to the epic battle of brains versus brawn -- the Cro-Magnons – weaker and more fragile but with a superior brain capable of complex thought against the Neanderthals – stocky, powerful and able to tolerate intense pain or their foes --
that set the stage for human evolution.
A cinema-quality documentary that dramatically reconstructs prehistoric life like never before, CLASH OF THE CAVEMEN unveils evolution in action, as Darwin’s theories are put to the test in this cataclysmic fight to the finish viewers won’t soon forget.
