The story begins with the brutish Rock Tribe, where Tumak (John Richardson) makes a failed attempt at displacing his father, Akhoba (Robert Brown) as alpha male and is banished into the wilderness as a result. After escaping various predators and collapsing from exhaustion, he's rescued by Loana (Welch), whose Shell Tribe is somewhat more civilized and technologically advanced. Tumak's culture clash with the Shell Tribe eventually drives him and Loana back to his own people, where he has to contend with his jealous brother for leadership.

They also practice extended parental care, though granted this error is more due to ScienceMarchesOn. If the babies themselves are any indication, they're also bipedal.

Based on the speciation of the human body louse (which clings to clothing), anthropologists estimate the invention of clothing to around 107,000 years ago. Moreover, if she did wear clothing, it would definitely not be an outfit that goes out of its way to cover her breasts while leaving as much of the rest of her body exposed as possible. That would imply the existence of very modern standards of sexual modesty.
