| - Earth's Children is a series of books by Jean Auel. The stories are set in the late Paleolithic period, during which two species of human beings, Neanderthals and Cro-Magnons, both exist. The main character is Ayla, an orphaned Cro-Magnon adopted and raised by a tribe of Neanderthals.
- There are six books in the series: The Clan of the Crazed Bear, The Volley of Horses, The Mammoth Shunters, The Pains of Massage, The Elders are Stoned and The Land of Fainted Braves. The first book was published in 1980 while the last of them became available in 2011, leading the readers who didn't die in the 31 year interval to sigh in relief when it was announced that the sixth and final novel would come out. Now the excruciatingly slow author can finally have a fatal car accident without any risk of spoiling the ending, they thought.

| - Earth's Children is a series of books by Jean Auel. The stories are set in the late Paleolithic period, during which two species of human beings, Neanderthals and Cro-Magnons, both exist. The main character is Ayla, an orphaned Cro-Magnon adopted and raised by a tribe of Neanderthals. Although Ayla is a strong female character to begin with, some readers find her to be a Canon Sue in later books. Characteristics she has in common with many Sues include her tragic past, perfect physical appearance (according to modern standards of beauty, even), perfect love life, Cute Animal Friends, and a series of special abilities.
- There are six books in the series: The Clan of the Crazed Bear, The Volley of Horses, The Mammoth Shunters, The Pains of Massage, The Elders are Stoned and The Land of Fainted Braves. The first book was published in 1980 while the last of them became available in 2011, leading the readers who didn't die in the 31 year interval to sigh in relief when it was announced that the sixth and final novel would come out. Now the excruciatingly slow author can finally have a fatal car accident without any risk of spoiling the ending, they thought. The story being 7,563 pages long, it is very likely that the reader who manages to finish the last book will not even remember how the whole thing started, so here's a reminder.
