- Joan Dahr Lambert, EdM, holds a Master's degree from The Harvard Graduate School of Education and has done postgraduate work at New York University on the evolution of human sexuality. She has taught at a variety of schools, colleges and adult education programs. She lives in New Hampshire with her husband.
Lambert has written two further novels in the Mother People Series which she plans to publish soon as eBooks. The first, Circle of Stars, begins immediately after Circles of Stone ends as Zena and her daughter begin the search for a new home. The second, Ice Burial, tells the story of the five-thousand-year-old man found buried beneath a glacier in the Alps as the ice that had enclosed him slowly melted.
Lambert is also the author of two mysteries in a series: Walking into Murder and Babes in the Baths. She is currently working on her next mystery while cogitating on the idea of a fourth book in the Mother People Series.

Women good, men bad.
I was pleased with this fictional story about how the oldest stone circle was created. The discovery of a hominoid skeleton called Lucy in Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania has fascinated me for decades. The discovery led to a nearby discovery of a stone circle dated at 2,300,000 years BCE. Most people are familiar with pagan stone circles in England and Europe, but not with much older stone circles in Africa created by people who are called hominids rather than humans. Joan Lambert does a commendable job of creating a story of the hominids who lived and died in that epoch. Parts 2 and 3 of Circles of Stone describe early humans much later migrating to what is now Iraq, and then to Europe.
My disappointment with Lambert's effort is that she incorporates feminist myths and misandry blaming men for everything that was ever destructive or violent in our human evolution. Lambert perpetuates the feminist myth of a female dominated culture that always lived in peace and love by keeping men ignorant and controlled. Even though she acknowledges in Part 2, that men had to be aggressive to fight other hominid species so our kind could survive, she again reverts to the feminist myths thereafter. She also continues the silly feminist myth that human ancestors never knew how women get pregnant until very recently. The need to breed is so powerful that virtually all species, including human ancestors, knows how to breed. This myth is incorporated into plot elements that blame men for destroying the “peace and love” female dominated society when the truth is finally learned in Part 3.
Lambert's novel is an interesting read even with the feminist misandry though. The characters are mostly believable, and their struggles during environmental changes are well thought out.… (meer)

Pragtfuld roman om de første mennesker. En bog, jeg genlæser med jævne mellemrum.
