This book is long on story-telling and short on facts. The author spends a great amount of time making up and telling stories of how Cro-Magnon families "could" have lived. If I had wanted this, I would have read one of Jean Auel's fiction books about early humans, which are much more entertaining. On the other hand, Fagan spends very little time on actual facts: for example he spends only five minutes talking about radiocarbon dating, a very important subject when discussing early man, since almost all that we know is based upon artifacts that have been dated by this method. Overall I expected much more from this book.
