    A long time ago, I read a book of fiction, The Clan of the Cave Bear, by Jean Auel who wrote a series of novels set in prehistoric Europe that explores human activities during this time, and touched on the interactions of Cro-Magnon people with Neanderthals. She followed it with five more books detailing what life must have been like in prehistoric times.  I read the first three books and then, for some reason, it no longer interested me.  i can only imagine how much research must have gone into those books.

    Jim read that book too L and LOVED IT. I think he got it from the library or borrowed it from a friend. Thank you for your reply. How people lived and survived that long ago seems miraculous to me. They were tougher stronger braver for sure. I think I'm gonn ask! :)

    It was an eye-opening book.  Really made you think about what it was like back then.  Yes, they were hard folks - they had to be to survive.
