'Alpha' is the best movie ever set in prehistory ('Europe, 20,000 years ago') -- beautiful, inspiring, & more-or-less realistic. Focused entirely on survival rather than reproduction, but still highly recommended. @AlphaTheMoviepic.twitter.com/OQz6Pl2TgN

It was my evolutionary psychology class for undergrads.

I 100% agree. It's one of the most compelling pieces of narrative visual storytelling I've ever seen - much more seamless than the ever-quoted Casablanca. It makes me transfixed throughout (and sweat). So much to learn about humans from it. Shame about the director though.

I loved Quest for Fire (1981), but could never recommend it to students due to its rather implausible mating dynamics.

The oldest bone needles in Europe go back at least 40k years, so it's plausible that they could sew furs together in fairly complicated ways. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sewing_needle#Prehistoric_sewing_needles …

Good God, I MUST watch this!!! BTW what did you think about Apocalypto?
-
Apocaylpto is my second choice for best depiction of prehistory -- except it's mostly set in 'history'. An under-rated movie that I've assigned in some classes.
