About 22,000 to 23,000 years ago, an individual, most probably a young woman, undertook two perilous journeys separated by several hours, carrying a toddler at least once.

He woke up early, brought water from the stream, and left small meals for Emily without speaking. He never raised his voice. Never came too close. He simply worked. Emily began to notice things—like how his movements were precise, how he watched the stars before sleeping, and how he carved small wooden figures by moonlight. One evening, curiosity took over. She walked over to where he sat carving and watched from behind. His fingers moved with care, shaping a small horse from a block of wood. He turned slowly and handed her the horse without a word. Their eyes met for the first time, and something passed between them—a fragile thread of understanding. Emily took the horse, unsure how to react. It was the first kind gesture anyone had offered her in weeks. Her heart softened slightly, even as her m...
