From scavenging their first meals and crafting rudimentary tools to raising children, negotiating with rival clans, and weathering the inevitable disasters, Mr and Mrs Neanderthal offers a warm, wry, and surprisingly relatable portrait of survival at the dawn of humanity. Equal parts imaginative reconstruction and quiet meditation on what it means to build a life from scratch, this is a story about the small triumphs that made us who we are.
