Book Reviews of The Clan of the Cave Bear (Earth's Children, Book One)
Book Review: "Profound, Touching, Tender and Insightful Fiction."~JC Angelcraft
Summary: 5 Stars
When I told a friend that I was reading Clan of the Cave Bear, he retorted,"What!....that is practically a Feminist Manifesto!
Fortunately, his comments did not dissuade me from finishing this most important and ever life-changing book, which is the first in the Earth's Children Series.
Written by Jean Marie Auel, Clan of the Cave Bear is one of the most touching and insightful books on human nature I have ever read.
Jean Marie's effort is also an excellent exercise in anthological conjecture based on adequate research of known fossil remains and other anthropological research. She also explores the possible etiological origins of homeopathic and sympathetic magic with fiction that is touching, real, and tender.
What fascinated me most about Jean Marie's book is how she elaborated on the theory that two human species, namely modern-anatomical humans and Neanderthals, may have coexisted side by side at one time prehistorically.
In her writing, Jean Marie explores the nature of prejudice inferring its origins are natural and deeply rooted in our evolutionary past. She treats it however by demonstrating that through love & acceptance, common traits of humanity shared by many cultures, can help even those with great differences between them to overcome their prejudices and still find a way to get along and live together in harmony. Despite her treatise, the end of book one has an interesting twist.
