Clash of Evolutionary Levels: The classic "neanderthals vs cro-magnons" conflict is at the centre of the story.

Would Hurt a Child: A-aea is horrified to realize that the piece of meat the neanderthal offers her is the arm of a human child.

Frazetta Man: Neanderthals are called "man-apes" and are portrayed as bestial creatures with no language or social structure. It hasn't aged well.

Deliberate Values Dissonance: The savagery of primitive society is emphasized. A-aea has few rights as a woman in her tribe.

Handsome Heroic Caveman: A-aea's love interest Ga-nor is "not unpleasing to the eye". The heroic part comes when he saves her from the neanderthal.

Mighty Whitey: In keeping with the theories of the time, the "cro-magnon" are described as white-skinned and blond-haired. The white supremacist Howard would likely have been dismayed to learn that early modern Europeans were actually dark-skinned people from Africa.
