- Academic, broadcaster and author Alice Roberts has just published the children’s novel, Wolf Road. Set during the Ice Age, 30,000 years ago, it follows the story of Tuuli, a prehistoric girl on a journey to her summer camp who meets a strange boy on the way.
As this is Alice’s first children’s novel, New Scientist decided that the best person to quiz her about it was culture editor Alison Flood’s 10-year-old daughter Jenny, a big reader. Jenny asked Alice all the most important questions, including if people would really have made pets of wolf cubs, how Alice knows what life was like for people 30,000 years ago, and if she would rather live then or now.

The look of delight on Jenny's face when Alice confirmed there is a sequel. So sweet.
Lovely interview, the young girl is an absolute delight, as is Professor Alice of course.
This lady is just perfection, answering the excellent questions she was asked, explicitly, but in a language that a 10 Year old can appreciate and understand
Going to get this book for my 10yr old. He loves nature! He has a reading age of 15yrs, but, still enjoys his bedtime stories!
Love Alice Roberts.
what a wonderful exchange....
This made my whole night
Good questions
Cute
I loved this
4:30. I think it is misleading to suggest that Ice Age cultures were like ours. If you wish to think about human instincts and the basic relationships, processes, structures that any band of people would need to establish culturally to get by yes, of course. But not all our instincts are pleasant. And not all cultural structures are “fair” or “just”…they just are what they are. Anytime listening to the religiously devout, people who irrationally believe in the impossible, finds that no appeal to reason, to evidence, to justice shakes their determination. Tribalism persists underneath the modern decision to get along, and rears its nasty head quite often. I should think ice age peoples, desperate, could be most unpleasant.
