The Clan of the Cave Bear - Chapter 13

From Jean M. Auel's "The Clan of the Cave Bear."

Originally I thought I might use a picture of real neanderthal stone tools, since there's a lengthy discourse in this chapter on their making and uses. But to my untrained and ignorant eye, every picture of them just looked like a bunch of dang rocks. SO Chapter image is a work of art depicting an imagined neanderthal knapping flint to make primitive (though sophisticated) stone tools. Art by José Emilio Toro Pareja torografic.com/en/home/

Appreciate the thought you put into the chapter images. They’re always an interesting touch.

A big literal handful of caviar straight form a beluga sturgeon's belly is probably the point in this novel where I most would like to be a paleolithic hunter gatherer on the coast of the black sea, thoguh I do wonder if they're actually all that good without the salt! Alas, I am no position to ever find out. C'est dommage

[@orleansartist6095]

they used salts, and maybe this salty preparation of caviar dates back to their time. who knows

[@deepquake9]

Yep. Already salty. We used to go sturgeon fishing in Oregon.

Whenever I think about eating fish eggs, I vomit a little in my mouth. That's just gross. I don't care how much it costs.

Je jamais manger les roe au la sturrgeon. C'est dommage.

[@rachell452]

This book is banned where I live. I cannot thank you enough! You are really a great and generous man.

[@elfin2865]

Why is it banned???

[@GardensLadyBug]

But your allowed to watch "Friends".

[@claudiastokes6485]

Can I ask where it's banned?

[@siamihari8717]

...oh dear someone decided to try and depict tribal life in one of our collective long dead cousins. Oh dear o me oh my. Surely this is the gravest insult to all things and must be banned from view! '....why?' Questions commonsense

[@claudiastokes6485]

@@siamihari8717I can see this offends you, but if we ban something..anything, where do we stop?

[@orleansartist6095]

All he is missing is a lap covering. knapping stone leaves sharp chips, and needle or knife like points. He would have a leather apron or lap covering.

What the hell is a temporary death curse

[@brian197686]

A transitory threat of death?

[@jakesmerth1919]

The author seems afraid to make Ayla a full lesbian, imo.

Love the narrator
