!!Provides Examples Of:
* AttemptedRape: It's not treated like rape in the setting due to DeliberateValuesDissonance but Ao tries to "unite his body" with Aki's against her will. She later does consent to sex with him though.

* CaughtInTheRain: A variation: a rain storm coincides with the first time Ao and Aki have sex but they skip the finding chelter part and get it on right there in the mud.

* InterspeciesRomance: Ao and Aki, a neanderthal man and Homo sapiens woman respectively.
* MisplacedWildlife: A Bald eagle is very out of place in Pleistocene Europe. American bison are too but they are likely stand-ins for the extinct Eurasian Steppe bison.
