William Golding's novel, The Inheritors, "reaches into prehistoria, advancing the thesis that humankind's evolutionary ancestors, the Fire-Builders, triumphed over a gentler race as much by violence and deceit as by natural superiority". (www.English_Nobel.ca, 1,1998) His thesis is much like his thesis used in his novel, Lord of the Flies. He constantly restates his thoughts on violence and its human involvement. The Inheritors exemplifies a scenario in which the last eight members of a tribe of Neanderthal men meet a tribe of Homo Sapiens and later are destroyed. His thoughts are based not only on his archaeological readings and his knowledge of old English epic, but are also based on his terrifying experiences of the tensions and trauma of the second world war. In the novel,The Inheritors, the overall effect portrays human's as being innately barbaric due to the novels anthropological perspective, characterization and symbolism. When "human's first arrived approximately 3.4 million years ago" (Webster,397, 1992), one might find it difficult to imagine what it would be like to lead the life of a typical Australopithecine. Like today, you would be faced with everyday challenges that we come to know and accept. For example, Hom.
Golding (author of Lord of the Flies) has taken the age-old mystery of the Neanderthals a step further. He has entered the mind and soul and nascent "culture" of a species of proto-humans, at a time and place of first contact with the true humans--those we would likely call today, the Cro-Magnon. In the balance, we are left to wonder more deeply than ever before, what is it to be "truly human"?.
