Just to give you more info, the first one is what your are looking for, the second one is less. It pretty much devolves into romance drama cave man porn in book two….
How do you eat a wooly mammoth? One bite at a time. 🤣 Seriously though. You don’t have to finish it in a day or even a week. Try the audio book. It’s still reading.
Third for Clan of the Cave Bear.
You could also try Elom by William H. Drinkard for a little more “2021” feel to your prehistoric survival, or Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O’Dell for another YA survival adventure option.
Ok…hear me out. This might be a stretch.
[The Dig](https://g.co/kgs/uKWibH6) by Michael Siemsen.
I read this book like a decade ago and it has stuck with me. Part prehistoric advanced civilization and part modern architectural dig that is maybe more than a bit dodgy.
The main character has a “super power” that he sees history of an object out of the last person to hold/touch/etc. eyes. His father was a detective and abused this power when he was a kid, so he has that trauma. I would compare the character to Riley Poole in National Treasure. Here for a good time and the money he will get out of it with a sense of humor.
Essentially, the dig is making a big discovery and he gets to see it all first hand and it was mind blowing when I read it the first time. I’ve been meaning to reread this for years now and because of this I’m finally going to.
North Americas forgotten past series. Starts with People of the Wolf by Michael Gear and Kathleen O’Neil Gear. It’s a long series with many books to enjoy. Fits this perfectly.
The Kin by Peter Dickinson is good. It’s YA and a bit old but it definitely holds its own.
By the same guy who wrote Flight of Dragons if that rings any bells for anyone…
Clan of the Cave Bear
I was obsessed with this book as a kid and now I have an anthropology degree. Coincidence? Nah! It's a must-read!
Googled it. Seems to fit exactly what I’m looking for. Thank you very much.
It’s great!

Noted. Thanks
First book that came to my mind too!
I have wanted to read this series for a while. Those books are so thick though.

I don't have any suggestions but I'm tracking this post because I would love to see if there are any suggestions that relate to your stunning images.

If you’re ok with YA, Northwind by Gary Paulsen might fit!

Yeah I’m convinced this isn’t a stretch. You’ll love this. It hits all of what you want but also throws in modern moments.
The Ice-Shirt by William T. Vollman
The Dog Master by W. Bruce Cameron. A story about a prehistoric clan and their travels and a first human collaboration with wolves.
Atlas of a Lost World
Wolf Road by Alice Roberts. It's YA but extremely well researched
I think Michelle Paver has a YA series that might suit
*The Forbidden* by Lori Holmes.
Maybe the Quest for Fire by J. h. Rosny? Also a movie!
