Might be better to read the physical book. The narrator for this audiobook was a bit robotic and lacked emotion.

I found the characters flat and uninteresting. I also was pretty upset by the fact there’s no official content warning. It’s a pretty awful way to introduce a character.
I probably would have liked it if the whole story was about the Neanderthal timeline. I was most interested in exploring their lifestyles, technology, etc.
