Neanderthal Vision

[Malu]

There's nothing generic about it, that's how they migrated over. You could write one with another species and a different route.

I know that, and so do a lot of people, it's probably one of the most well known and recognized things about that time period, that is why it seems generic to me. That's like telling the story of the titanic, everyone knows it sank, so instead of just restating what everyone knows, say something different, possibly something abstract that still evokes connotation of the subject matter. The titanic was sunk, nothing new here, "the unsinkable had just lost it's greatest battle to the cruelest of mistresses" I don't know, that just came off the top of my head, but something along that idea. So for pursuing mammoths, we all know they were hunted, maybe don't say the animal, give a clue to it and make the reader think for a second about what you mean. "Tracking down our 7 ton buffet". As for the Bering Strait, rather than saying Bering, use some device such as personification and describe that ice bridge. Take us to that land mass, make us feel how cold it was, and how the wind chiseled at our faces. This story has been told numerous times in numerous ways, the last line saying how it was your dream/vision is the only different part. And anyone could write one about another species and different route, perhaps a less well known species and unfamiliar route, to give new insight to something, or at least a different view on this, rather than retelling the most common one, unless that was your goal. But this is your interpretation, so do with it what you please.
