A tale of life thirty-five thousand years ago, tells the story of Tiger as he seeks revenge for a savage attack on his tribe

Bjorn Kurten's compelling novel gives the reader a detailed picture of life 35,000 years ago in Western Europe. One of the world's leading scholars of Ice Age fauna, Kurten fuses extraordinary knowledge and imagination in this vivid evocation of our deepest past. This novel illuminates the lives of the humans who left us magnificent paintings in the caves of France and Spain.

Kurten challenges the idea that man descended from apes and suggest instead that the ancestry of man and that of apes have been separate for more than 35 million years.

In this illustrated work, Kurten offers a vivid panorama of vertebrate animal life as it unfolded during the more than three million years before humans came to the New World.
