Search - The Kin

This was a great read.

A fascinating and detailed look into the development of humans and pre-humans from four different voices. This volume includes all four "stories" which I believe were originally published separately and explores life on the brink of humanity two hundred thousand years ago. While the plot of the novel is more fantasy, than science fiction, Dickinson has done an enormous amount of research for this book and "fleshes" out scientific theories about language development, socialization, and other evolutionary processes.

200,000 years ago, 6 children are cut off from their family group, the Moonhawk Kin, when they're driven from their home by violent strangers. Now, they're alone & living by their wits and limited experience. --that's from the back of the book. This author did a lot of research, and it is a good book. I enjoyed it & read it aloud to my 11year old.
