The exact time period is ill-defined; I've seen stated it is 25,000 years ago, not 150,000.


* ArtisticLicensePaleontology:
** The setting is 150,000 years ago, mainly in Europe. A time when modern humans like Rahan had not reached the continent yet.
** Rahan regularly encounters dinosaurs. It's made even [[ArtisticLicenseBiology weirder]] by the fact that he ''also'' comes across regular paleolithic fauna such as mammoths and cave bears. The writers try to {{handwave}} the dinosaurs by repeatedly stating that they're leftovers from a bygone age, but it really just comes across as either carelessness or RuleOfCool.
