THE LAST NEANDERTHAL
Book ID/图书代码： 12760015B82552
English Summary/英文概要： “In a flash, she could see that that the cat knew her plan . He had watched her eyes flicker and guessed her moves exactly. He jumped,but to the side. One beat of the heart and she had missed the mark.The stick would hit at the side of his mouth . Rather than stab through the back of his head as intended, it would glance off his tooth or nose . Without perfect aim, she would not be able to kill
him in one move . There was no second move . She was the eaten .”— From The Last Neanderthal by Claire Cameron
The Last Neanderthal is based on the life of Girl, who finds herself alone as her family members die off and disappear . It is inspired by the new science that has come to light in the 35 years since the publication of The Clan of the Cave Bear and by Claire Cameron’s extensive experience in wilderness survival . Through the lives of three women—a Neanderthal and two modern-day women—it integrates the notions that Neanderthals and Homo sapiens co-existed,and that they were a lot more like us than we have been led to believe .
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 一部讲述尼安德特人最后母系时代的动人故事。
“转眼间，她发现猫知道她的计划。他看着她的眼睛一闪一闪的，准确地猜到了她的动作。他跳了起来，但却跳到一边。一次心跳，她错过了目标。棍子会打在他的嘴边。而不是像预想的那样刺穿他的后脑勺，而是从他的牙齿或鼻子上掠过。没有精确完美的瞄准猎物，她不可能一举杀死他。没有第二步。她被吃掉了。”
《最后的穴居人》讲述了最后一个尼安德特家族在灭绝前一年的故事。经过了一个严冬，族群的人数在减少，女孩和家里的刚刚成年的长女，期盼着鲑鱼每年交配季节的到来。由于狩猎发生意外，动物袭击，老人和疾病，他们的数量逐渐减少，直到一个女孩独自照顾一个名叫伦特的弃婴。在寻找亲人的过程中，他们在即将到来的暴风雪中面临着饥饿。女孩还有最后一个机会，通过继续繁殖来防止她的族人灭绝。
与尼安德特人女孩故事交替的是，关于一个年轻的，怀孕的人类学家，发现了女孩的骨头的戏剧性故事。几千年来，将这些角色联系在一起的是他们早期做母亲的经历，而这些经历驱使着这些年轻的母亲走向极端。小说融合了尼安德特人和智人共存的相对较新的概念，他们比我们想象的更像我们。当两者都处于极端的压力之下，女性的行为方式都非常相似。在一个充满希望的悲剧性故事中，本书的作者克莱尔·卡梅隆(Claire Cameron)探索了女性生活中黑暗，往往是禁忌的不为人知的一面。她的小说中包括了女性怀孕和分娩经历，前所未有的生动的描述。(Sandy)
克莱尔·卡梅隆(ClaireCameron)对尼安德特人①的重新想象得到了最近科学发现的支持。三十五年前发表的《洞熊家族》，在过去的十年时间里，学术界对尼安德特人又作了一次重大科学评估。他们不再被看作是低于我们现代人的原始人，而是作为一个大脑容量比我们人类大10%的，且比我们人类多存活了几十万年的物种。许多人从尼安德特人那里继承了高达4%的DNA。大多数科学家认为这是与智人杂交的证据。
