The People of the Mammoth have wandered the world for thousands of years, surviving starvation and predators, fleeing the ever encroaching ice, following the mammoth herds for life and sustenance. It is now 18,000 BC, in North America, and they arrive at the place of prophecy, where a girl is born with the mark of the Great Mother, and the time of their wandering is at an end. Maya is treated as an outcast by all but Magic, the shaman, and Berry, the elder who takes the role of her mother. Scorned even by her own father, she is most hated by the demented Ghost, who longs for her death and that of Magic, and the time when he alone will wield power. Tricked into losing the Mammoth Stone talisman, Maya unwittingly causes Magic's death, and with Ghost's ascendency, the near devastation of the people. As Maya flees bloody and mindless, searching for her own death, she is found by the People of the Bison, and takes up a new life, having lost all memory of her previous one. But a final great confrontation is forced between the two peoples, and the power of the Mammoth Stone is put to the test.

Twenty-five thousand years ago, in the land that would one day be known as Mexico, a woman's destiny was harsh and uncertain, her life at the mercy of brutal Gods and customs. But the young and resourceful Green Eyes Blue was blessed with a special gift — the mysterious eyes of a Goddess — and her fate would prove to be as extraordinary as her beauty.
In a forest near her native village, she discovers a sacred jade knife while hunting game, but is kidnapped by bandits and taken away to be sold into slavery. Using the knife in a struggle to free herself, Green Eyes Blue badly injures the most savage of the bandits. He is a fierce enemy whose wrath she can never hope to escape — even after she is sold to Lord Golden Hand and carried off to the capital city of Tollan. There, as wife and mother, she must forge a new life — and fight for her kingdom and her home. For the enemies of her past, the worshippers of the Dark Gods, are trying to steal away her only chance for happiness. A destiny that, only through the strength and will of her own heart, will shine forever.

"Superb introduction to the imaginary story of mankind, and young readers will find it both thrilling and fascinating to imagine themselves among the first chldren on earth. Imagine a band of people wandering through strange country in search of food. Speech is still new to them and their vocabulary is about that of a 3 year old child today. But they are human beings who can think, plan, laugh and cry. They are far removed from the animals around them. The wonderful story of man's growth and development is presented here in a brilliant and lively panorama. The glorious, light-filled pictures and the clear simplicity of the words give the reader a sensitive and scientific portrayal of the life of early man."

John Clute writes of A Son of Noah in the Encyclopedia of Science-Fiction (1995), "...features many of the conventions of prehistoric sf with the added spice of pterodactyl-worship on the part of a speciously advanced race.

It is not included in Brian Stableford's ESF article, "Origin of Man," a succinct survey of the prehistoric genre, nor in Angenot and Khouri's International Bibliography of Prehistoric Fiction (1981).

 When Euan found a shipwrecked stranger on the rocks near his village one windy dawn, his first feeling was one of anger that this dark man with the beautiful woven wool tunic was not his own father, lost at sea with all the other men of the primitive little fishing community some weeks before. Now the women and children who remained were on the verge of starvation, and lived in dread of enslavement by neighbouring peoples. more...

Claude Anet (Jean Schopfer) [1868-1931]

Jean Schopfer was born in Switzerland in 1868 and educated at the Sorbonne and the École du Louvre in Paris. In addition to his talents as a writer, Schopfer in 1892 won the tennis championship of France. He wrote the first of his many books in 1899. For most of his travel books and novels he used the pen name, Claude Anet. During the first World War a Paris journal sent him to Russia, and that trip resulted in his four-volume work, La Révolution Russe. A playwright as well, his Mayerling is perhaps his best known work of that type. Schopfer died in 1931.

Cecilia is on a school trip to the Lascaux caves in southern France--a mysterious place with well-preserved prehistoric paintings on the walls. These are believed to have been created by our primitive ancestors several hundred thousand years ago. The little girl notices some strange footprints on the ground. Following them, she walks away from the other children and arrives in a dark, wide hall. She is about to turn on her flashlight, when suddenly ... Flash! Her camera flash goes off and lights up the paintings of deer and hunters on the walls. The flash goes off again and she sees more animals chiseled in the walls.
In the dark, she feels someone trying to pull the camera off her neck. Frightened, she turns around and sees a primitive man. He gestures to her that he is the painter of the walls. Leading her out of the cave, he tries to start a fire by striking two sticks against each other. Cecilia has to get back, because her school bus is leaving, but she leaves the primitive man a box of matches as a farewell gift. Three pages at the end of the story explain how prehistoric people lived, what tools they used, how they painted, and how they hunted.

"There appeared from 1860 to our day, in practically all the European cultures and in the US, hundreds of narratives that one may loosely group under the label "prehistoric fiction." Their superficial traits seem to be easily recognizable: these tales center around characters belonging to prehistory, and they relate events occurring in periods preceding recorded history, in those eras referred to collectively as the Stone Age, or those identified by the first palaeontologists as the Age of the Reindeer, or that of the Mammoth, or else in the Tertiary Era, since a number of scientists confidently assigned the origin of man to such pristine times..."

Bandelier, Adolf Francis Alphonse [1840-1914]. 1890. The Delight Makers: A novel of prehistoric Pueblo Indians. (2nd ed., intro. by Charles F. Lummis, New York: Dodd, Mead, 1918). iv, 490 pp. 20 cm, New York. Dodd, Mead and Company. ISBN: 0156252643. (1971 HBJ edition, new introduction by Stefan Jovanovich)*
Unique in nineteenth-century American literature for its blend of historical romance and scientific observation, The Delight Makers provides in fictional form an invaluable reconstruction of prehistoric Indian culture of the Southwest. Written by an archaeologist who had spent eight years among the Pueblo tribes of New Mexico, it tells the story of the ancestors of the modern Pueblos, the Queres, who are dominated by a powerful secret society called the Koshare or "Delight Makers." Rivalry between clans and a conspiracy to accuse a woman of sorcery touch off war with a neighboring tribe, the Tehuas, and lead to the destruction of the Queres settlement.

The story begins with an astounding discovery, a golden sphere buried deep in the Antarctic ice. Encapsulated in the sphere are the naked bodies of a man and a beautiful young woman, survivors of a civilization that had perished 900,000 years ago.
The world is staggered by the discovery and the United Nations, after a stormy debate, agrees to send an international team of scientists to the Antarctic. Eventually, Elea, the young woman, is awakened from her frozen sleep. The scientists learn that she once lived in an advanced, idyllic civilization that was destroyed in a prehistoric atomic holocaust that only students and scientists desperately tried to prevent.

"The theme of this unusual story is an exciting one... the devolopment of abstract thinking and the power to reason in a child of the Stone Age. There is a sweeping, timeless implication in the story of Andor, an undersized boy whose greatest strength was his mind, in a tribe where brutish physical prowess was considered the measure of a man. The setting is wildly majestic... that strip of land which is believed to have formed a bridge between Europe and Africa... that plain which is now inundated by the Mediterranean Sea. Andor's story is one which will fire the imagination and haunt the dreams of all who read it." more...

In the cave of Lascaux in the south of France the wall paintings of prehistoric man may still be seen. They are an important key to our understanding of times long ago – when men lived in caves and believed in the power of magic.
Here is the story of one particular cave painting.

The story of Ao'h, a young boy of the Stone Age. Banished from his tribe, he lives alone in a cave, discovering and making tools, painting, barely surviving. After a difficult and solitary winter, he is discovered by three warriors from a neighboring tribe and abducted by them, to be turned over as an apprentice to the most powerful man in their tribe, the Sorcerer. Ao'h shows a special talent for painting; his depictions of beasts almost never fail to bring about a successful hunt. Before long his power surpasses even that of the old Sorcerer himself. Respected and feared alike, he soon finds that his magical powers have put his very life in danger.

On an island in the Arctic Ocean north of Siberia, mammoths have survived unnoticed since the last ice age. But now, reduced to a single herd, the gentle giants struggle to survive a warming climate, a dwindling gene pool, and the attentions of humanity. Though intelligent and sapient, the mammoths have no effective defense against a small party of men who've suddenly appeared on their island. Young Silverhair, the herd's future Matriarch, and her mate Lop-ear decide they need new ideas and new thinking to survive. They ask the humans for help, but they respond by shooting Lop-ear and capturing Silverhair. more...

It's sixteen thousand years B.C., and woolly mammoths roam the earth, inhabiting the steppes of Beringia, the land bridge linking Asia and North America. Climactic changes have caused the steppes to recede, but humans, whom the mammoths call Fireheads, pose the greatest threat to their survival. Longtusk, whose coming-of-age story this is, must save the mammoths by spearheading an epic journey. Separated from his family, Longtusk is enslaved by the Fireheads, who make him a beast of burden. But a Dreamer (Neanderthal) woman foretells his future: Longtusk will die, along with the Dreamer who once saved his life and that of the Firehead matriarch, Crocus. more...

In this case, dogged by dreams of the Pleistocene, the new protagonist -- who is not dissimilar to the Habiline who later featured in the less successful and overextended tale of Atlanta and Haiti, Ancient of Days-- is enlisted into a time-travel project, returns to the Africa of his vision, fathers a child in the dawn of time, and returns with her to the battering world."

Ug and his parents are living in the Stone Age. And that means stone blankets, stone cold food, an even colder cave and, worst of all, hard stone trousers! Being an inquisitive and intelligent child, Ug suggests a series of modifications to improve the quality of family life. His ideas about heating, cooking, boats, and balls that actually bounce are met with a hostile reaction by his parents who don't know what he's going on about. Even Ug himself is occasionally unsure of the purpose of his inventions - his round stone that rolls down the hill is great, but what is it actually for? With the help of his father, who is slowly coming round to his son's way of thinking, Ug comes tantalisingly close to his ultimate garment goal, only to find that there are some obstacles even a boy genius can't overcome.

And what if a young cavegirl suddenly took those same words and began weaving them into something magical?

The time is ten thousand years ago and the place is the shores of Lake Champlain, a land inhabited by Abenaki communities who hunt, gather, and follow the cycles of their unspoiled natural world in relative harmony. Joseph Bruchac uses this setting not just to spin a compelling adventure yarn but also to re-create the cultural, social, and spiritual systems of these pre-contact Native Americans. In this third novel of his trilogy about the 'people of the dawnland,' the lake they call Petonbowk -- 'the waters between' Vermont's Green Mountains and New York's Adirondacks -- holds both sustenance and danger, and Young Hunter is called upon to confront a dual menace. A 'deepseer' or shaman, he must use his full powers first to comprehend the threats and then to defeat them. The lake, it seems, holds a huge water-snake monster that makes it impossible to reap the waters' bountiful harvest of fish and game. And, worse, a tortured outcast, Watches Darkness, has turned against his tribe and is using his deepseer's knowledge to perpetrate horrible acts of senseless evil: he destroys whole villages out of sheer malevolence; he literally eats his victims' hearts to absorb their powers; he kills his own grandmother without remorse.
