I one took a trip to Mongolia in the dead of winter one year. -45 C at night, -25 C in the daytime. I hate cold, but I wanted to see life in such an extreme environment. Very eye-opening, but I was glad I had my winter hiking gear and ice climbing socks with me just to walk around town. I can't imagine how it was for people thousands of years ago.

There's the possibility that the humans in that area at that time were migratory, i.e. only visited it in the summer.
Or that the local Mongolian climate was more mild at the time.
