So. This is based on an AU that I've had in mind for literally years. What finally shoved this vignette into existence is a book called How To Invent Everything. It's a very entertaining read about the roots of modern technology, and I was very startled to learn that spoken language is, itself, a technology rather than something innate. It had to be invented/discovered/whathaveyou, and people who learned it behaved differently than people who did not despite being physically identical because having words allows for more complexity of thought.

Anyway, I hope this little fic is entertaining. Despite its brevity, it took me a surprisingly long time to finish: several days, and it could probably still use a tweak or two. I would absolutely love to revisit this universe again, hopefully soon.

I like it! The thought of a story where baby Kal-El lands amongst early humans had occurred to me, but I had thought more of a crossover between LnC and the Earth's Children series.

I'm always intrigued by alternate times or locations Kal-El could have landed. I've read a few, but this is the first I've read where/when he landed so early (cave man time). I wonder how he might have impacted human history if he had landed then :P

Wow! I had so many thoughts when this started. I thought maybe it was a Clan of the Cave Bear crossover at first, then my mind went to Tarzan. I like the idea of Lois and Clark being among the earliest humans. Definitely creative! And of course, even Cave Lois babbles and confuses poor Clark! Thanks for sharing!

Like Deadly Chakram I had a hard time placing this at first. I was even wondering for a moment if Clark could be Mowgli from the Jungle Book.

Very interesting take on our favourite couple. You sure never disappoint!
Thanks for sharing

Thanks, guys!

I am most remiss in replying to this excellent glimpse into "what if." I loved the whole of the tale, but my very favorite part is


That just gets me right there. Lolo may tease Kal-El, might call him "wild-boy," but she loves him and always calls him back to her side.

So beautiful. Thank you.

Aww, thanks, Terry! ^__^

Hi Mary!

Another one
Kryptonian expedition? Or camping in Smallville National Park?

Wait, howl? Is Clark being raised by wolves?

The Globe? And the rest? It starts to sound like caveman age.

Globe.

ugh ugh

He is going to have many women. He can warm them all.

So…shaman…with a flock of women.

An Ursus Lexus Maximus?

WOMAN: Me food!
BEAR: You food!
WOMAN: Me food!
BEAR

WOMEN: Me food! No man!
KAL-EL: Me man!

TEMPUS:

Men were offering their daughters, women their companionship.
LOLO: me man.

Oh those Flintstones…

Very cute premise. Very effective delivery. I do wonder how long this Kal-El is going to live. Might he become this Earth’s Lorien?

I must say this is absolutely brilliant. So glad you finally posted it. I do hope you revisit this universe and share your work with us!
