Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })First published in the United Kingdom as Child of Time in 1991 by Isaac Asimov and Robert Silverberg. American publication followed the next year under the title The Ugly Little Boy. This story is the Novelization of "The Ugly Little Boy" by Dr Asimov.A prologue introduces a new element for this story; the tale of Silver Cloud, chieftain of a tribe of neanderthals, and She Who Knows, an old tribeswoman who constantly pesters him.The story proper opens with Nurse Edith Fellowes entering Stasis Section One for the last time. She's secretly planning to help Timmie, the young neanderthal boy, escape. The story then jumps back to when Dr Gerald Hoskins is interviewing women for the job of caring for a neanderthal child. Miss Fellowes is offered the job, and the first interchapter begins.The book continues to switch between stories; present-day Stasis Technology, Ltd., where Nurse Fellowes monitors the health and development of Timmie, while the prehistoric tribe of neanderthals believes that Skyfire Face was taken by the goddess to show her displeasure with the tribe.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })

Canon Foreigner: Due to Robert Silverberg adding sub-plots to extend the story length from Novelette to Novel, this included brand-new characters and their perspective on events forty thousand years in the past.

1 Million B.C.: Half of the story takes place forty thousand years ago, from the perspective of the neanderthal tribe to whom the titular child belonged to. This tribe is frightened of the Other Ones who have been encroaching on their territory, and may need to go to war against them to defend themselves from complete eradication.
