I enjoyed Fire hunter and when I took my Anthropology degree independent invention versus diffusion from other cultures was still being debated for a number of things. And early SF in general was built on the lone genius. When it comes to dogs I don't think Kjelgaard could help himself, that was his market. , Stories about the evolution of mankind always seem to want to collapse things so fire, the bow and the domestic dog can be squeezed into one book. <br /><br />All the best.<br />GuyGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12546069846136464138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7898257022341976644.post-27903430951388136152020-03-30T05:31:12.125-07:002020-03-30T05:31:12.125-07:00Perhaps I should be embarrassed by my fondness for...Perhaps I should be embarrassed by my fondness for such a Just-So/lone-genius story, but Kjelgaard's "Fire Hunter" is still one of my all time favorites. I've always classified it as a departure from his dog books, but of course the protagonist does invent the <i>first</i> dog now that I think about it.paintedjaguarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12543155841059132978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7898257022341976644.post-82540785410565073152020-03-02T08:22:30.655-08:002020-03-02T08:22:30.655-08:00Thanks Charles
