25,000 B.C. In Europe, arctic glaciers reach as far south as London. Massive predators are on the prowl. Across the continent, two species of primitive man struggle to survive. The Neanderthals are natural hunters, built for brute strength and well-adapted to the cold. However, they lack the understanding of technology and ability to speak in abstract terms that our species has. The Cro-Magnon, Homo sapiens are smarter but more fragile. With exciting new research in anthropology, archaeology and genetics, follow these early humans through a season of survival.
Maybe Goliath... ( "There were giants in those times." )
If type follows type, then one would be above average size, and probably fertile.
The other, weakly, liable to die soon after birth, and not very likely to be fertile.
Not much hope for the Leprechauns, as I see it.
