Primera novela de la serie Los Hijos de la Tierra de Jean M. Auel sobre la vida de nuestros antepasados en la última fase de la Era Glacial cuando los Neanderthales y los Cro-Magnones compartian la Tierra. La heroína es Ayla una valiente e indomable joven mujer cuya historia empieza cuando queda huerfana a los cinco años y es adoptada por el Clan un grupo de Neanderthales. Al principio Ayla inspira sorpresa, luego cautela, y por fin aceptación por parte del Clan. Iza la curandera y Creb el Hombre Santo cuidan de ella. El comportamiento y las actitudes de los miembros del Clan no le es ajeno. Se interesa por las cacerías y los preparativos de las armas, algo que esta prohibido a las mujeres y que ella no obstante domina con notable maestria. El Clan del Oso Cavernario es el primer libro de la serie de enorme éxito que continúa en **El Valle de los Caballos**, **Los Cazadores de Mamuts**, **Las Llanuras del Tránsito** y en el esperado y fabuloso quinto titulo **Los Refugios de Piedra**.
