Through these dreams, he witnesses the struggles and triumphs of his early human ancestors as they navigate the harsh realities of survival in a primitive world. The novel is a fascinating exploration of the theory of evolution and the idea that we are all connected to our ancient ancestors. It is a thought-provoking and engaging read that will appeal to anyone interested in the origins of humanity and the evolution of our species.The first morning, after my night's sleep with Lop-Ear, I learned the advantage of the narrow-mouthed caves. It was just daylight when old Saber-Tooth, the tiger, walked into the open space. Two of the Folk were already up. They made a rush for it. Whether they were panic-stricken, or whether he was too close on their heels for them to attempt to scramble up the bluff to the crevices, I do not know.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
