Caveman Movie Evaluation

Movie Evaluation
Caveman 1981
In the movie, caveman, they were right about the social life, sharing of resources and food but the social group consisting of a single male and several females is not well emphasized enough in the movie. There is no father-mother-children relationship in their social structure.
The characters in the caveman walked bipedally all through the movie without any clips of quadrupedalism. There is no evidence or scientific proof to back up that bipedalism or walking upright existed one zillion years ago just as the film portrayed. They got this wrong based on what I have learned in my Anthropology class that bipedalism does not exist not until of recent.
Great team effort in moving large objects especially food and accomplishing

Though they may have some means of communication, no known language is used by our previous ancestors. In the movie, a character was shown teaching them how to say “that’s fire” and “all right” which I did not see any evidence to support that from my class.
The volcanic eruption and change in atmospheric condition which lead to changes in the pattern of living species was within that period was in terms of what I learned in class.
The characters were seen using fire to roast or cook their meats before eating them and this is a fact that is backed up with evidence discovered by archaeologists.
The use of stone tools is an aspect they got right in the movie, making and sharpening stone tools which were later used for hunting and fighting predators who want to take away their food. The weaker group gives up their food. It is the survival of the fittest.
In caveman movie, there is great teamwork in getting food, carrying it home and sharing it within the group is rightly showed in accordance with what I learned this they got right.
The abandonment of the sick and wounded, together with the poisoning of fruits in order to get a female’s attention away from their partner is not recorded
