The Inheritors

by Golding, William

The Inheritors is a story of eight Neanderthals who encounter Homo sapiens for the first time. The humans view the Neanderthals as Forest Devils and are quick to kill them when they can. Eventually, all the Neanderthals are killed, except for two small children that are taken captive and treated like pets.
