Prehistory is all around us. We just need to know where to look. Juan José Millás has always felt like he doesn't quite fit into human society. Sometimes he wonders if he is even a Homo sapiensat all, or something simpler. Perhaps he is a Neanderthal who somehow survived? So he turns to Juan Luis Arsuaga, one of the world's leading palaeontologists and a super-smart sapiens, to explain why we are the way we are and where we come from. Over the course of many months, the two visit different places, many of them common scenes of our daily lives, and others unique archaeological sites. Arsuaga tries to teach the Neanderthal how to think like a sapiens and, above all, that prehistory is not a thing of the past: that traces of humanity through the millennia can be found anywhere, from a cave or a landscape to a children's playground or a toy shop. Millás and Arsuaga invite you on a journey of wonder which unites scientific discovery with the greatest human invention of all: the art of storytelling.

Juan José Millás crée des romans qui plongent dans le psychologique et l'introspectif, transformant le banal en fantastique. Il a été le pionnier de l' 'articuento', un genre unique où les récits du quotidien deviennent des explorations imaginatives, favorisant une perspective plus critique de la réalité. Ses chroniques journalistiques, largement lues, sont célébrées pour leur subtile originalité et leur conscience sociale, offrant aux lecteurs un point de vue distinct sur les enjeux contemporains. Millás explore constamment des thèmes tels que l'identité, la symétrie, l'amour et la jalousie, invitant les lecteurs dans un monde de profonde introspection.
