Into the book
“It was clear what he meant, but I was dumbfounded for a moment.
Suddenly this thought occurred to me.
Are you foolish? You don't understand what this means to me.
I just assumed that people from 802,000 years ago would be ahead of us in knowledge, art, and everything else.
But then one of them suddenly asked a question that a five-year-old child of our time would ask.
"I asked if I came down from the sun riding on thunder!" --- From the text

The person who first coined the concept of a 'time machine' was British novelist H.G. Wells.
Often referred to as the 'father of science fiction', he took his first steps in this field in the late 19th century with the publication of the novel 'The Time Machine' (1895).
Along with French novelist Jules Verne, Wells contributed greatly to establishing science fiction on a solid literary footing.
