"In 1977, Auel began extensive library research of the Ice Age for her first book. She joined a survival class to learn how to construct an ice cave, and learned primitive methods of making fire, tanning leather, and knapping stone from the aboriginal skills expert Jim Riggs. The Clan of the Cave Bear was nominated for numerous literary awards, including an American Booksellers Association nomination for best first novel. It was also later adapted into a screenplay for the film of the same name. After the sales success of her first book, Auel has been able to travel to the sites of prehistoric ruins and relics, and also to meet many of the experts with whom she had been corresponding. Her research has taken her across Europe from France to Ukraine, including most of what Marija Gimbutas called Old Europe. In 1986, she attended and co-sponsored a conference on modern human origins at the School of American Research, Santa Fe. She has developed a close friendship with Doctor Jean Clottes of France, who was responsible for the exploration of the Cosquer Cave discovered in 1985 and the Chauvet Cave discovered in 1994.

Jacket typography by Paul Bacon. A sharp set. Jean Auelâs Earthâs Children series, beginning with The Clan of the Cave Bear, offers a complex exploration of prehistoric human societies, blending fiction with anthropological insights. Set during the Ice Age, the series follows the journey of Ayla, a young woman raised by the Clan of the Cave Bear, as she navigates the challenges of survival, identity, and cultural integration. Through its vivid portrayal of early human life, the series delves into themes of social structures, gender roles, and the development of language and spirituality, presenting an imaginative yet thoughtful examination of early human history. Auelâs incorporation of detailed archaeological research provides a foundation for her narrative, though the speculative nature of the story also invites discussion on the boundaries between historical accuracy and fictional imagination. The series, widely recognized for its richly developed characters and immersive world-building, continues to provoke scholarly interest regarding the intersection of fiction, prehistory, and human evolution.
