No, I’m serious.Īnd here is why Broud (the villain) hates Ayla: The narrative finally jumped the shark when it implied that Neanderthal women were scared of learning new things because with their hereditary memory (yeah, me neither) their children would keep having larger and larger heads which eventually would lead to more difficult births and higher infant and mother mortality rate, ergo decline of the race and evolutionary cul-de-sac. No! You can’t put paragraphs like that in a STORY! Did you copy it from an encyclopedia? You're confusing research with copy-pasting. They were the culmination of a branch of mankind whose brain was developed in the back of their heads, in the occipital and the parietal regions that control vision and bodily sensation and store memory." "All those primitive people, with almost no frontal lobes, and speech limited by undeveloped vocal organs, but with huge brains-larger than any race of man then living or future generations yet unborn-were unique. But since I had that constant running commentary that sounded like something from a BBC documentary I was forced to get out the story and look at it from a dispassionate, modern point of view, which inevitably led me to the conclusion that half of it was unbelievable bollocks. I wanted a story as seen through the eyes of prehistorical people and I’d seriously take anything the author threw my way, there would be no limits to my suspension of disbelief. I didn’t need that foreshadowing of the 20th century. I’m sorry, what? It’s 35000 BC, I don’t want to hear things like ‘hypothermia’ or ‘diuretic’ or ‘evolution’. "The plentiful supply of drinking water kept dehydration from making its dangerous contribution to hypothermia, the lowering of body temperature that brought death from exposure, but she was getting weak." It’s the writing I had many different problems with. It’s all ok, it’s comfort reading after all. I knew no real harm would ever come Ayla’s way, she would survive it all and meanwhile invent an iPhone. I didn’t even care she turned out to be the smartest, most beautiful, ingenious little thing and the villain in the story was almost grotesque and cartoonish in his evildoing. See, you had a good story there – a little Cro-Magnon orphan girl found and raised by Neanderthals. Be warned I’m quite angry because I keep reading your books for some bizarre reason and I cringe and tear my hair out in despair. Ms Auel, there are some things I’d like to talk to you about.
