Ice-age Stories

Ms Jean M. Auel's best-selling book "The Clan of the Cave Bear" and "Earth's Children" book series is a beautiful depiction of our planet 35,000 years ago. Her six books brought me many hours of enthralled reading, at different times in my life. Written (and read) over a couple of decades, many "Earth's Children" readers have posed questions on certain sections of Ms Auel's epic. It is delightful to read different writers' fan fiction interpretations, who build on the foundational ancient world brought to life by Ms Auel. My first Earth's Children fan-fiction piece, "The Clan in the Valley", imagined Durc's life after Ayla was forced to leave Broud's clan. My second fan-fiction work, "The Man of the Others", tried to picture a young Mamut, who met the same clan years before Ayla did. This story looks at Ayla from the eyes of those closest to her. Ayla's friendship with them was unprecedented, and set the stage for what we take for granted today. It is perhaps particularly apt that this third fan-fiction piece was written in the Year of the Horse, according to the Chinese Zodiac. In my fan-fictions , some characters are Ms Auel's creation and copyright, some are mine. Passages from various "Earth's Children" books are extracted as vignettes to preface my chapters. Thank you to Ms Auel, for giving us Ayla - who continues to inspire girls and boys even in today's very different world of ours. Hopefully we will be able to take care of it for a while more. === This is a work of fiction. Unless otherwise indicated, all the names, characters, businesses, places, events and incidents in this book are either the product of the author's imagination or used in a fictitious manner. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental.

My name is Akira. I live alone with the animals. There are so many silly ones and some can be rude. I wonder if other humans can understand them like me... Well I may never know! I just know I decided to follow this sloth named Sid who is trying to stay with this mammoth named Manny. Sid is very silly and obnoxious, he is also all talk no action. Manny, from what I can tell, is very rude. He can also a little sassy and stern. Maybe I'll find something if I keep following them! Like maybe they'll decide to travel together or go on a great adventure! Or I can see when Sid finally gives up!

About 1.5 billion years ago, the single-celled eukaryotes became the common ancestors of all multicellular plants, animals, and fungi. Fish evolved a primitive lung sac and four limbs, 350 million years ago, so they could crawl between fresh water swamps. About 250 million years ago, the ancestors of all mammals, were tiny nocturnal insectivores and, about 6 million years ago, we began walking on two legs. The most recent Ice Age (2.6 million to 12,000 years ago), severely reduced rainfall in Africa, where Homo habilis was evolving. In Homo erectus (1.9 to 0.5 million years ago), cranial capacity increased to between 850 and 1000 cm3 implying the phenomenal increase of 125,000 more neurons with each generation. Between 70 and 50 thousand years ago, Homo sapiens spread out from east Africa. Then, about 20,000 years ago, evolution made a sharp change in direction. After 250 million years, we ceased to be hunter gatherers. The Neolithic Revolution meant we could never go back. WHO THE HELL ARE WE? is a series of short books and videos describing the evolution of civilization. Almost everyone on the planet is five times wealthier than their ancestors only 50 years ago. This astonishing phenomenon has also improved health, education, and longevity. The cause; an explosive growth in ideas and productivity. It began when we learned to control fire, evolved articulate speech and stumbled onto the way to create infinite wealth; free trade. The discovery of agriculture made us richer but we also learned how to destroy wealth. Great civilization grew up but then disappeared leaving only incredible ruins and ideas. Later books detail some of the ideas and developments that increased the average life span from about 40 years to more than 80 and the average world income from less than $3 to more than $33 per person per day (and to $140 per day in some countries).

Passages from various "Earth's Children" books are extracted as vignettes to preface my chapters. While writing, I am grateful for the cartographical resources meticulously crafted and curated by Mr Don Hitchcock in his excellent website https://donsmaps.com. Mr Hitchcock's maps helped me picture a sense of space and geography as I researched for and outlined my stories. As a father to two daughters, thanks most of all to Ms Auel, for giving us Ayla - who continues to inspire girls (and boys) even in today's vastly different world of ours. === This is a work of fiction.

Three Earth years ago, at the year 5597, the world changed its home and migrated in what we know, the planet Delta from Apollonian System. The new home for surviving humans, plants, animals and even cyborgs became colder and colder. One of the recent discoveries in this planet made by the two surviving astrological agencies NASA and PAGASA was this year, Year 1HD (Human in Delta), would be the beginning of Delta's Ice Age Some started to make plans to stop this coming threat to the lives of all humans, and the most destructive among these is Justin Adamson's plan. What would be his plan? And... What can Nathan, Andrei and Eldon do to stop Justin? Is it the end of the Surviving Tomorrow? Sequel to Future's Home

Come face to face with dinosaurs and battles that would have happened millions of years ago. T. rex vs Ankylosaurus, Allosaurus vs Stegosaurus. Battles will get updated frequently.

The words Climate Change have entered our vocabulary with hurricane force. It's difficult to pick up a newspaper, view the evening news, or read more than a few minutes on social networks, or the web without encountering these words. But what do they mean? Is climate really changing? How is it changing? Hasn't it always changed? Didn't we just recover from an ice age that ended only ten thousand years ago; and, didn't Europe just recover from a mini ice age that ended only a few centuries ago? So, what does climate change really mean? Does any one know? If these questions interest you, then please read on, as I try to shed some light on this complex, socio-political issue.

Ms Jean M. Auel's best-selling book "The Clan of the Cave Bear" and "Earth's Children" book series is a beautiful depiction of our planet 35,000 years ago. Her six books brought me many hours of enthralled reading, at different times in my life. As I was reading Ms Auel's books, I would sometimes imagine life in our hunter-gatherer days. I would wonder how our world would be today if we had not discovered agriculture, and that old method of life had continued to today. But I suppose there is little chance of turning back; maybe our world today was always meant to be. Some years ago, I had the opportunity to visit "The Land of Painted Caves", in particular Les Ezies-de-Tayac in France, which I understand was the setting of the Caves of the Zelandonii, the people of Jondalar. The cave paintings at the Grotte de Font-de-Gaume were a sight to behold, and I could almost imagine myself as a part of Ayla's Donier tour. I still habour hopes of one day visiting the "Beran Sea" (known today as the Black Sea) and the adjoining peninsular, where Ayla was saved from death by Brun's clan, and she grew up loved by Iza and Creb. Till then, I decided to do the next best thing - to write my version of a story set near the "Beran Sea". This is a fan-fiction work - some characters are Ms Auel's creation and copyright, some are mine. Passages from various "Earth's Children" books are extracted as vignettes to preface my chapters. I hope you enjoy this short story, which I intend as a sort of tribute to Ms Auel. As a father of two daughters, thank you, Jean M. Auel, for bringing us Ayla, who continues to be an inspiration to girls everywhere, 35,000 years later. === This is a work of fiction.
