Clan Of The Cave Bear

38,000 years ago on Earth - the twilight of a prehistoric era!

No historian recorded their heartaches, triumphs or names. Yet Ayla and others like her left indelible imprints. They continued humankind´s long march toward civilizationand away from more primitive groups like The Clan of the Cave Bear.

Daryl Hannah is Ayla in a richly detailed, beautifully filmed screen version of Jean M. Auel´s bestseller. Separated from her Cro-Magnon people by a calamitous earthquake, Ayla lives with a less-developed, male -dominated Neanderthal clan. She´s different in appearance, in resourcefulness, in her uncommon defiance of social taboos. And from those differences arise conflicts that underscore the Cro-Magnons´ evolutionary ascendancy and the Neanderthals´ mysterious disappearance from our world.
