See the earth rising volcanically in the throes of its geographic change. See the last remaining tribes of ape-like pre-men as they fall forever, off of the limbs of the tree of time.
Come meet Anthro, a lusty young man of pre-history. Join him in battle against the primeval forces of nature. Battle by his side against the force of the Establishment, which existed even then.
Howie Post & Joe Olando, Showcase #74
160,000 years ago, Anthro, the first Cro-Magnon boy, was born to Neanderthal parents. Not only did he start a different genetic path from his ancestors, but also a moral one.
Anthro was taught by his father to keep his mind on the hunt…
However, when he thinks he’s impressing his father, he’s actually offending him…
Anthro had gone against the ways of the Bear Tribe, and was forced to fight his father.
Instead of killing his father when he wins…
Anthro became chieftain of the tribe. Although constantly struggling to survive, he searched for a better way of life for his people, teaching them mercy and compassion in a cruel and violent world.
