Storyline
Professor John Oldman is packing his belongings onto his truck, preparing to move to a new home. As John’s colleagues press him to explain the reason for his departure, he picks up from a reference to Magdalenian cultures by Dan and slowly, and somewhat reluctantly, reveals that he is a prehistoric caveman himself from that precise period.

Novelizations aren’t just a transcription of the film story. They also add details and backstory to the plot in a literary way.
“The purest experience for the movie is not to have read the book because when you've read the book you're just ticking off boxes.”
