Hamster Dunnigan, amateur paleo-archeologist, was on an illegal dig in the mountains of southeastern Washington State. He was looking for graves to loot. His area of interest was on the Hanford Nuclear Reservation, federal lands. He was a short man and kept himself lean and strong. His long auburn hair was always pulled back in a braided ponytail. At first glance, even though he was twenty-nine years old, he looked like a small Native American kid. One relic he finds is a massive skin of a now extinct tiger, has a story etched into it. As he passes his flashlight over the etched stick figures, they begin to move like an old stopgap movie. When Dunnigan touches the skin, the story intuitively flows into his mind. It is the story of the beginning of self-awareness, spirituality, emotions, and the neural connections that leads to hominoid survival, proliferation, and our collective genetic construction. It is the story of explosive creativity and dramatic understanding of harmony with the environment five hundred thousand years ago. It is the story of the ever-present dilemma of self-preservation self-awareness. It is a story of our most ancient hominoid ancestors who gave us the ability to think, learn, remember, and pass on our present-day genetic code and of our future.
As the story evolves Noolan and Caek are two competing species of early hominoids, but separated from their clans, they depend on one another and become emotionally attached. Journey with them through many harrowing events as they try to reunite with their families. Making their way through an unrelenting environment with determination and grit, they grow closer together and closer to their ultimate enemy, the Jakkar. It is only through an intuitive power, deeply honed survival skills and a bit of luck that these two craftly and cleverly overcome the odds. As you get to know Noolan, Caek and their clans, you'll reconsider what you thought you knew about our early ancestors.
The genesis of problem-solving abilities and what may happen with earlier hominoid ancestors demonstrates they were a lot smarter than we give them credit for. It was a human who created the wheel, and prayer and relational understandings.
