In later books in the series, Auel, conversant in cutting edge archeology thanks to the research she did for each volume, says that people of the clan, in contrast to cro magnons, don't create figurative or abstract/symbolic "art," or have any interest in the aesthetics of objects outside of their usefulness. I think it's super grrovy how you can track the history of prehistoric archeology as a field in relation to this book! www.sciencealert.com/more-evidence-found-for-sophisticated-symbolic-behavior-in-neanderthals
Those paintings are impressive. When on a holiday in Spain many years ago, we visited the Altamira cave (well, the museum's reproduction, I believe only scientists are allowed into the actual cave). The picture fits the chapter well.
@@Panbaneesha Yes , nothing will screw up something valuable quite like letting people in. They will littler , wipe boogers on the paintings and probably tag it with some spray paint.
Your voice is amazing I love hearing your voice narrating the clan of the cave bear I hope you will finish recording this book and maybe will you do the others in this series and I hope you will read it out loud to us your voice is very soothing
Hey David, I've become quite the fan of this channel, just wanted to say I appreciate u taking the effort to make these audios for us. I don't understand why so few people listen to u, but ur voice is great.
I read the book Years ago, it came in a number of segments as I remember. You present the book well with a good voice. 'Very entertaining to sit back and imagine all this. Thank you.
22:30 I believe that it wasn’t the act of eating meat that made the human brain grow to like twice the size in a short amount of time, but rather switching from a mainly foraging way of living to a hunter gatherer way by watching the other predators do what they do. Learning to cooperate with other humans to go out and hunt an animal like 5x their size required a lot of quick decision making and definitely gave them a lot of experience, which they would then pass down to their children, and on and on.
That's one theory , there is another that is called the Stoned Ape. Hypothetically , they encountered certain species of fungi that triggered the boom in brain size and function.
Omg David ! Your the man!! It’s not SOIAF but it’s just great!!! At first I didn’t like it but for the last 10 minutes of chapter two and my mind was blown away!!! Your the man David!! This is great stuff and I never herd of this book.. I’m loving it!! Thank you for expanding my mind!
Thanks! Glad you’re enjoying! I think Auel used juuuuuuuuust the right amount of magical realism in this book to hook you if you’re not as enthralled by lengthy detailed descriptions of flint knapping and hide curing and such (though I sure am).
@@DavidReadsASoIaF your the best Davey !! You know your in my heart brother.. Everyday after a hard day moving people I listen to a chapter or two unwinding.. sometimes I can’t stop and listen all day. All those chapters of those books are a wealth of knowledge that you made!! You tell the story’s so good and your great at keeping people’s voices in line with there family! I love how dunk sounds like Breann of Tarth! There totally related! Just one of thousands of details and hard work you put into this! Your the man brother. I’m still working on a fan art for you.. I hope your having a great day 🍄🐁🧀🫀 mushroom blood and cheese 🧀
I like your reading much better than the official version, I just can't listen to the way she reads it. BIG TCotCB and following books. This is going to be awesome.
I’m so glad I found this Channel. THANK YOU! Let’s not tell the woke snowflakes about this channel or book. They’re cheese will surge slip off their cracker.
Hi, woke snowflake here. I love this book, the work that went into it, and how it reflects that the natural state of humanity is change and equality. Hope this helps!

Never heard of this book series, enjoyed this so far.
Yes, me too! I heard of it today and have been binging it. Very enjoyable!

I'm not going to lie. The series starts to suck during book four, but book 2 is a really good book, and 3, despite the soap opera, it's not bad either
"Despite her age" i suddenly remember she is 20...
Loving the reading man.
Cheers!!❤
