Based on true events and set 70,000 years; a smart female hunter is elected to lead her tribe out of Africa. Climate change, starvation, animal attacks; other humans; betrayal all challenge their very survival and a fate which could change the modern world.

Yeah I’ve done quite a bit of research on it. The two main events are the Toba volcano explosion (biggest one in 25 million years, caused a few extinctions and started a new ice age), and the out of Africa hypothesis(which provides the main plotline). The out of Africa hypothesis is that a tribe or two of humans left Africa about 70,000 years ago(journey movie) and every single human now living outside Africa is a direct descendant of these two tribes. There is also a fair bit of other “event” data in the story. The tribes shaman use “magic sticks” which is a riff on counting sticks used by actual shaman, herb pouches, food, hunting, even some allusions to the cultural explosion which occurs a few tens of thousands of years later. Neanderthals also join the tribe explaining why all non-africans have 4% neanderthal DNA. Meaning of course that all humans are actually African, just depends how far back you want to go so I think it has a nice inclusive moral message in it as well.
