Caveman

People think of cavemen as simple brutes. However, living in the cradle of civilization, they simply haven’t had the chance to develop advanced technology or infrastructure. They’re as human as their descendants, and although their way of life is arduous, they make time for artistic expression, storytelling and and social bonding just as we do. It’s pretentious to assume a lack of intelligence on the part of our ancestors. Thag, however, is indeed an idiot. Thag tests the patience of local tribes and nomadic family groups. Interested in farming, he once tried to breed a mastodon with a woolly rhino. It went as poorly as could be expected. He doesn’t talk much, but he thinks he can communicate more clearly and directly by using short sentences and referring to himself in third person. In reality this only serves to make him sound dumber. He’s clumsy and totally self-unaware. However, Thag really does mean well and he’s quite selfless, which is why the villagers tolerate him.
