The Beginning
Relentlessly, a narrative as old as time drives forward to a climax as old as man--and points a finger as grim as Death.

An interesting short story about the first ever arms race (by first ever, think cavemen).

A Pleistocene man, weakest among his tribe, invents a new weapon that turns him into a fierce hunter and unwittingly ushers in a new age of intertribal war.

A speculative retrospect of ancient man and an event that moved the evolution a step forward, told in a thought provoking manner.
The main character, being outcast to an extent, is in a position where his thoughts are given perhaps more time to develop. A single event of survival triggers a need in him to investigate and develop something revolutionary. The tale also lays forth the typical effect of such events that can lead to the extinction of the innovator, but the leap forward that a species can experience.
Classic style SciFi. Recommended.
