Bjorn Kurten's "Dance of the Tiger" is a novel incorporating an hypothesis
about the outcome of the encounter between "Neanderthal" and "Cro-
Magnon" populations in northern Europe.  It is good reading and, as
Gould points out in his Introduction, soundly grounded in biology and
genetics.  I much preferred Kurten's novels over Jean Auel's "Clan of the
Cave Bear" which, I confess, I couldn't finish.
