Long ago when I was a teenager my Mom recommended a book called "Clan of the Cavebear", which was about an orphaned Cro-Magnon girl who was adopted by a group of Neanderthals.
I really enjoyed the book and it made me interested in prehistoric peoples and ideas on how they lived. However, the later books went from a fantasy prehistoric setting to romance novels that happened to be set in the same world building, so I got bored and left the series behind.
I'm wondering if there are any fantasy/sci-fi books with a similar setting, a kind of prehistoric setting. Basically anything ranging from the early stone age up until the before the neolithic time period, where humans were still primarily hunter/gatherers and there might even be more than one species of people, like how the Earth's Children series showed interactions between Cro-Magnon and Neanderthals.

As a fellow lover of these books (who also fell off as the series progressed), I am following to see other suggestions! I have yet to find another book or series that is comparable, but I am excited to hear what others can offer!
Check out The Kin by Peter Dickenson
