And how, at the time Rudi Mackenzie rescued them, they were being HUNTED by more advanced and ruthless savages. Which reminded me of how you pointed out that the Old and New Stone ages and before were times of CONSTANT low level violence by small groups against other small groups.<br /><br />SeanSean M.

I remember the difficulty some had adjusting to this more varied diet. And simply being shown how better SHELTERS such as proper houses would save many of their children would have been eye openers!<br /><br />SeanSean M.
