«A long, long time ago, when the world was just a child...» That is how all the Shamans (sages or wise men) start to tell the stories of their tribes. And that is how this books begins. And although it may appear to be an adventure novel, this is in fact a book about Prehistory.

As the author, Juan Luis Arsuaga says, our tribe is now the whole of Humanity, the people that speak all the languages on the planet that we share. On these pages can be found the scientific story of our History. But at the same time, we learn about the dangerous episodes that our ancestors experienced. Because science is the great adventure of exploring the unknown.
