From Darwin to the Flintstones
by Andrew Horrall. Series edited by Jeffrey Richards
Fred Flintstone lived in a sunny Stone Age American suburb, but his ancestors were respectable, middle-class Victorians. They were very amused to think that prehistory was an archaic version of their own world because it suggested that British ideals were eternal. In the 1850s, our prehistoric ancestors were portrayed in satirical cartoons, songs, sketches and plays as ape-like, reflecting the threat posed by evolutionary ideas. By the end of the century, recognisably human cave men inhabited a Stone Age version of late-imperial Britain, sending-up its ideals and institutions. Cave men appeared constantly in parades, civic pageants and costume parties. In the early 1900s American cartoonists and early Hollywood stars like Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton adopted and reimagined this very British character, cementing it in global popular culture. Cave men are an appealing way to explore and understand Victorian and Edwardian Britain.

Chaos reigns over Planet Earth, and devastating natural disasters have sent millions of people to their death, while the survivors live in fear. In Tokyo there is only one person who has survived the destructive rage of Terra Mater. But Ayumi knows that something far worse awaits her than the ruins all around her. In a vision she has clearly seen what Terra Mater is planning. And so Ayumi has no choice: she must conquer her fear and join the natural spirits in trying to close down the Elekreen power station. Only she, Liam, Addy and Younes can save humanity.
