The Shield Of Time, PART FOUR, 13,211 B. C.
The invaders are socially more advanced:
they built many leather shelters;
in winter, they build large stone, turf and hide huts;
they have tools that We do not;
they have more time for work because they kill large animals that feed them for many days;
the young and strong can feed the old and weak who therefore "...need not go off to die." (p. 189);
one of them has realized the advantage of exploiting the natives.
The future lies with the invaders. A time traveler visits and lives with them. The seeds of our political conflicts are there.

Kaor, Paul!
And I believe the seeds of conflicts of all kinds are in all men in all times.

As I've said, the Tulat are anachronistically primitive. H. Sap. Sap. was -never- quite that backward.
Kaor, Mr. Stirling!
In some ways, more like what we see among the dawn men of "The Little Monster."
Ad astra! Sean
