Riassunto

The Kin are our ancestors - the first homo sapiens sapiens. Groups of Nomadic hunter-gatherers, they lived 200,000 years ago on the African savannah. The adventures of four children from the Moonhawk Kin are told in the four linked books that make up this epic children's novel. Suth, Noli, Ko and Mana survive volcanic eruption, earthquake, floods, man-eating lions, monster crocodiles, hostile tribes and many other dramatic events, in brilliantly-told stories that inspire the reader's imagination about the nature of our world and the birth of the human race.
