I’m looking for fiction stories set in caveman times. Not post-apocalyptic stories or nomads away from civilization stories mind you, but stories where there is no civilization yet. I’ll take “historical fiction” (if that applies here) or more fantastical settings as long as they have the right vibe.
I’ve always been somewhat fascinated by the Paleolithic. We spent most of our history living as hunter-gatherers, with modern civilization a small blip by comparison, but it doesn’t show up in storytelling that often.

I remember in high school, we were given a "free reading period" (or some similar name) because the english depts. in my country usually finish their classes by November so they need to stretch out the year by any means necessary. I would usually just go to the library and pick some random book with a cool looking cover or title, because I was an intellectual like that, and I once picked this book called "The Neanderthals" because I thought it was about the Netherlands and I must have been a little dyslexic. I don't remember why I wanted to read a book about the Netherlands.
Point is, there is a book out there called The Neanderthals about psychic cavemen if you care to find it.
