4-6The Kin series.
In two prehistoric survival stories, Suth and Noli are children belonging to the Kin, a two-hundred-thousand-year-old human society. When their group of Kin abandons four recently orphaned young children, Suth and Noli decide to go back and rescue them. Pourquoi stories that alternate with the chapters provide a folkloric heritage and belief system for the Kin and also explain character motivation.
