In addition to the Cave People, there are the more advanced Fire People, and the more animal-like Tree People. Other characters include the hominid's father, a love interest, and Red-Eye, a fierce "atavism" that perpetually terrorizes the Cave People. A sabre-cat also plays a role in the story.

He wrote The Call of the Forest and more than fifty other novels and novels known. He also draws from his readings and his own life of misery the inspiration for many highly engaged and socialist-colored works, although this aspect of his work is generally neglected.
