Pebble & Bone

How did ancient humans brush their teeth, survive winter, or start a fire without matches? Pebble & Bone answers the strange everyday questions about prehistory and the ancient world, in hand-drawn stick-figure animation.

Each long video is an 8 to 12 minute deep dive into one question about how people actually lived: the food, the tools, the medicine, the bad ideas that somehow worked. The quick ones become Shorts.

New explainer every week. Shorts several times a week.

Every script is researched and fact-checked against archaeological and historical sources, and the sources are listed in each video's description. If we got something wrong, tell us and we will pin the correction.

Made with AI assistance: research, the narration (a synthetic voice) and the illustrations use AI tools. Every claim is checked against the listed sources before production.
