The Clan of the Cave Bear
Book • 1900
The Clan of the Cave Bear, set 18,000 years BCE during the last ice age, tells the story of Ayla, a five-year-old Cro-Magnon girl who loses her family in an earthquake and is found by Iza, the medicine woman of a Neanderthal clan.
Despite being from a different species, Ayla is adopted by the clan, led by Brun, and cared for by Iza and her brother Creb, the clan's shaman.
The novel explores Ayla's integration into the clan, her unique abilities, and the cultural and societal differences between Neanderthals and Cro-Magnons.
It also delves into themes of acceptance, loyalty, and the struggles Ayla faces, particularly from Broud, the son of the clan leader, who harbors deep resentment towards her.
