What was it like to be a cavemen? What sort of house would you live in? What sort of clothes would you wear? Paul Jordan takes us back in time to see what it was really like to live in prehistoric times, what kind of animals we would have shared the land with, and what our daily life would involve. How would you have managed in this strange and difficult world?
This was presented to me as a children's book, but do children really want to know the hairplitting differences between an interstadial and an interglacial? Overall a good read, although the author does not spend much time at all on the topic described in the title, ranging all over related subjects without getting down to the nitty-gritty of daily cave life. He is also questions whether Neanderthals were really people. Being up to 4% Neanderthal himself, he should know better.
