I persevered to the 11-minute mark after realising in the first few paragraphs that the premise of this audiobook was how I could build my confidence by channeling "God's purpose" for me. I really did try to keep an open mind, telling myself that if I could just ignore the claptrap I still might find some pearls of wisdom. That steely resolve saw me through another 7 minutes, but ultimately the incessant references to the dieu du jour were just too much.
I wouldn't feel so cheated except that now having read the blurb a second time I still don't see any reference to the fact that the author takes a wholly religious angle. I pray that it will be updated.

Best-selling author Brian Fagan brings early humans out of the deep freeze with his trademark mix of erudition, cutting-edge science, and vivid storytelling. Cro-Magnon reveals human society in its infancy, facing enormous environmental challenges - including a rival species of humans, the Neanderthals. For ten millennia, Cro-Magnons lived side by side with Neanderthals, an encounter that Fagan fills with drama.

An interesting introduction to our current state of knowledge of our distant ancestors. However, don't expect only a discussion of facts drawn from recent archaeological studies. The author adds colour to the text by speculating well beyond what we know in the areas of social structure and human/neanderthal coexistence. Sometimes this is enjoyable, sometimes it taxes credulity.
