{"product_id":"the-neanderthal-within-a-prehistoric-novel-of-love-birth-and-survival","title":"The Neanderthal Within: A Prehistoric Novel of Love, Birth, and Survival","description":"Forty thousand years ago, two human lineages walked the Earth—Neanderthals and Homo sapiens. Neanderthals had lived in Europe for nearly four hundred thousand years; Homo sapiens had only just arrived, after having evolved in Africa over the previous three hundred thousand years. For the next five thousand years until they became extinct, Neanderthals lived side by side with Homo sapiens in what is now Europe, mainly living in harmony as they interbred and formed mixed-lineage families.\nThis is the story of how just one mixed-lineage union might have happened.\nWhen two youths—a curious Homo sapiens male and a fiercely intelligent Neanderthal female—meet, their relationship defies fear, language, and clan boundaries. In a world where survival depends on loyalty to one’s own, their bond is dangerous—and transformative. From their union comes a child born of two worlds. This, and births like it, were the start of something new.\nInspired by genetic evidence of our own Neanderthal DNA, The Neanderthal Within reimagines a tender love story set against the epic backdrop of prehistory. Blending scientific plausibility with emotional depth, it pays tribute to the courage it takes to reach across differences—and to the legacy created when that courage is met.\nIf you’ve ever wondered how modern humans came to be—or what it felt like when two lineages first came together—this novel will stay with you long after the last page.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0G6W8V6MX\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.B0G6W8V6MX.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Mitchell, Dr. Robert Power\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43329160708157,"sku":"BVV.B0G6W8V6MX.VG","price":10.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/the-neanderthal-within-a-prehistoric-novel-of-love-birth-and-survival","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
