Bigtooth

Imagine growing up in a dense jungle where just getting a meal every day is a challenge. Jungles have all sorts of hazards like poisonous snakes, spiders, and poisonous plants. Now, mix in some large predators like the saber-toothed tiger and the boa constrictor, and one could well imagine how dangerous the jungle could be. One thing is for sure, all of us need to eat. Humans have the advantage now. With technology they, can easily kill even the largest predators.This fictional story takes us back to Stone Age times when there were at least two species of primate that had high enough intelligence to defend themselves against predators like the saber-toothed tiger. The saber-toothed tiger went extinct about 10,000 years ago. Humans and tigers lived in the same areas of the world at the same time. There must have been competition for food. The only weapons humans had, were simple spears and flint knives. This is the first in a series about the adventures of Ug, Human and Gorm Neanderthal.
