Hunt or Be Hunted
Sun, Feb 9, 2003
A pair of homo ergaster take the first step up the food chain by learning to scavenge meat using a stone hand ax. A million years later a hunt of a herd of irish elk by a tribe of home erectus goes terribly wrong when the torches used to drive the herd fail to stay lit. A tribe of Neandthals makes a good though dangerous living hunting bison until the cooling climate reduces the available game.
