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.

Every place has adapted their infrastructure to its climate..

It’s not like there’s just a standard way of building a house and it would be more or less the same all around the world..

Also.. smaller houses for survival which can easily be warmed by a fire. So it would be plenty warm and toasty inside even during winter..

A relative has a small wooden hut in the mountains one room basically, one layer of 10cm wood between you and outside… It gets hot as hell in there even during degrees well below zero..
