How did people live in cold regions of the world before modern housing and heating?

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.

500 years ago is not that long ago. It’d be weird to even call people from then as “ancient”.

Anyways. Surviving the cold is pretty easy, even without modern technology. A nice fur coat can keep you perfectly warm, and yes they had fur coats in the 1500s. In fact, fur clothing in general dates back well over a hundred thousand years.

As for heating… A fire works great as heat. And humans have been using fire since literal cavemen days.
