Considering the freezing temps we record annually coupled with tornadoes and other natural phenomena, how did ancient people survive the adverse weather without modern housing, clothing and heating technologies we have today. I’m taking 500+ years ago.

I feel like you need to google some places that aren’t North America. There are buildings still standing today that are over 5000 years old: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_oldest_known_surviving_buildings](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_oldest_known_surviving_buildings). They are all obviously pretty robust, so you could probably do just fine sheltering in them in a storm with a small fire.
Some younger ones I’d hope you have heard of:
* Tower of London: 1285 AD
* Colosseum of Rome: 80 AD
* Masada, Israel: 37 BC
* Parthenon, Athens: 430 BC
* Great pyramid of Giza: ~2570 BC
If you mean “before buildings” then you’re talking something like 12,000 years ago I think.
