What happened to the Neanderthal species? Was it genocide? An epidemic? Climate change? Interbreeding? An ambitious team travels around the world to examine the evidence—exploring the main regions Neanderthals inhabited.

When his clan, including his wife and baby girl Néa, are massacred, Ao, a desperate Neanderthal man, decides to leave the North Country where he has been living for the South where he was born. His aim is to join his twin brother, from whom he was separated when he was nine. On his long and adventurous way home, he meets Aki, a Homo Sapien woman.
