description: Clearly ahead of his time H. G. Wells gave his great gifts to the world with his classic science fiction works including this short story. The story is set during the Stone Age and tells of a caveman named Ugh-lomi who bonds with the young woman Eudena and kills his rival the de facto tribal leader Uya. Whilst in exile Ugh-lomi becomes the first man to ride a horse and to combine stone and wood to fashion an axe. He uses this weapon along with his wits to survive encounters with cave bears hyenas and rhinos and ultimately claim the position of tribal leader for himself.Richard Foster Classics Collection
