Earth's Children is a series of speculative alternative historical fiction novels
written by Jean M. Auel set circa 30,000 years before present. There are five novels
in the series so far and a sixth and final novel will be published in 2011[1]. Auel
had previously mentioned in interviews that there would be a seventh novel, but
publicity announcements for the sixth have confirmed it will be the final book in
the sequence.
The series is set in Europe during the Upper Paleolithic era, after the date of
the first ceramics discovered, but before the last advance of glaciers. The books
focus on the period of co-existence between Cro-Magnons and Neanderthals.
As a whole, the series is a tale of personal discovery: coming-of-age, invention,
cultural complexities, and, beginning with the second book, explicit romantic sex.
It tells the story of Ayla, an orphaned Cro-Magnon girl who is adopted and raised
by a tribe of Neanderthals and who later embarks on a journey to find "the Others"
(her own kind), meeting her romantic interest and supporting co-protagonist, Jondalar.
