Once Upon a Time Long, Long Ago

This story for the younger reader, set in the period some 50,000 years ago when an almost explosive change in people's behaviour occurred, addresses these questions. From this period on, people, the Cro-Magnon or Homo sapiens sapiens who are considered to be our ancestors, became what we term human. This recreated story presents a sister and brother in a sequence of events that fits what little is known about that time. Learn to create fire, shape tools, partner with wolves and develop into thinking, creative persons who can influence the world around them. Discover what effect a few curious and reasoning people can have on their society.

A devoted grandfather and reader of stories to grandchildren, Henry Shykoff  has created a classic adventure for the younger reader, answering the question, "How did we get to be human?"
