Neanderthal 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. This second fan-fiction work gives an interpretation of a time before Ayla. In it, 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. 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. 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 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.

In a green valley that has looked the same for ten thousand years, a Neanderthal quarry worker named Grug is eating his breakfast when strangers begin to arrive. They come through a seam in the air. They are taller than him, and louder, and warmer. They bring objects he has no words for and opinions he has not asked to hear. They call him neighbor. They mean it in much the same way a colonizer means to offer blankets and beads. These are the stories he tells about what happens next. Told in Grug's own spare, watchful voice, the pieces in this collection will span a single changing valley across a handful of years. A gourd appears on a flat rock and will not leave. A line forms at the watering hole for the first time in history. A shell necklace is worn, removed, worn again. A daughter bites a man she should not bite. A wife uses a word her husband has been waiting three weeks to hear her not use. Each story is the length of a morning coffee, and each morning will bring you on the journey of some specific thing going quietly wrong, or quietly right on the valley's voyage to gradual interdimensional gentrification. The stories are darkly funny. They are funny the way a kitchen is funny, the way a long marriage is funny, the way a man is funny when he has decided, against all available evidence, to keep finishing his breakfast. Year One is now complete. Look for Year Two, comming soon!

Nòno is not from our time, but human beings have always been the same. History shows us that we are not that different from those who lived back then. What were they like? What did they think? Was it difficult to survive? Or maybe, did they think, like we do, that they were on the leading edge of evolution? better than those who came before them, with a world of possibilities laid in front of their sight. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This story was written by Giuliano Maghini (my father). He asked me to upload it as he writes it. Every chaper is going to be really short, similiar lenght as the first one. I will translate the story in english the best as I can, please keep in mind it was originally written in a different language. if there are major mistakes let me know.

This is an alternate history short story set in a world I have created. I have some other stories written, as well as a novel, set in the same world. Alternate History is a subset of science fiction. It is typically not about the future but about a profoundly different past or present. The main difference in the world I have created is that the Neanderthals have not gone extinct. They are known as Ancients. (We are known as Newcomers.) Instead of running away from us, or trying to fight us, they decided to help us. Especially, they helped us increase our psychic powers. This has had a profound effect on our history, which I flesh out in my novel and short stories. In this story, a young man, Tadeu, has a favorite horse, Branca. Branca can think, and can communicate mentally. She especially enjoys it when Tadeu reads juicy novels set in Medieval times. Their life is upended by a terrible natural disaster and the equally terrible reaction to it by the survivors of the disaster. If you enjoyed this, I would love to read your comments.
