Finally, a good movie about ancient man without the dinosaurs (extinct 60 million years before the origin of man). A tribe loses its fire and does not have the knowledge to start their own, so they must send out a small group in search of fire from other tribes. The anthropologist Desmond Morris managed the body languages and gestures and Anthony Burgess invented the ancient languages.
