In the Shadow of Extinction: During the Time of the Hill People

Lions, tigers, and bears, oh my. It is a brave new world…a recently populated continent for humanity. Lions so massive they make present day ones look like cuddly pets, Saber-toothed tigers, 14 foot tall short-faced bears, sloths so big their underground dens are like mining tunnels. Yet, in a world of dangerous predators to Homo sapiens, man himself remains just as great a danger to his own species. In a small clan of North American hunter/gatherers skirting on the very edge of survival 12,900 years ago, what contribution, or use is a boy with a club foot? He cannot hunt and lacks the mobility for even effective foraging. In a timeless tale about the societal forces of conformity and uniformity, and the discriminatory constraints such pressure can inflict, Esam can do nothing about the disdain or the ostracism by others, yet his very existence depends on his belief in himself. In a coming of age story for his times, the boy must first survive man in order to become a man.

Doc fetch goes through Layer's Aerospike pull-through cache; cache hit served the row without touching turbopuffer. The similar query asks Layer for nearest neighbors of the stored product vector — queries don't go through the doc cache, so no cache header is set.
