Written in a bestseller logic (many pages, Many volumes), The Clan of the Cave Bear is nonetheless a novel with catchy icts own reputation in terms of veracity as far as prehistory patterns are Concerned. Beyond the story, I like the way, Ayla, Evolved from the line Homo sapiens, found her way through the locks of the archaic Homo neanderthalensis society. A respectfull desobedience to tradition and faith, discretion and Some complicities Within her host clan allowed her to gain skills, Legitimacy and Dignity. "She Had Had to work hard, She Had Learned goal in the process." To the benefit of the clan Itself, enriched with her own difference and capabilities. Details about female provided 35,000 years Before Present (male dominance, restrained education, punishment and threat of violence) and hidden Attempts for improvment (contraception) give a hint of feminism to Jean M. Auel's work. Without Knowing her, Ayla made the clan tradition and evolve Fought against obscurantism. Ayla Congratulations!
