This episode is set 75,000 years ago in India, following a catastrophic super-volcanic eruption which forced a showdown between our ancestors and a completely different species of human, Homo erectus, who up until that point had reigned supreme.

This monograph deals with the philosophical approach of thirteenth-century masters to concrete, practical manifestations of 'quantum ad naturalia' in human lives in their commentaries on Aristotle's works on natural philosophy, both his genuine works and those then considered genuine.

HOMO ERECTUS, a comedy set in prehistoric times, follows the exploits of the hapless Ishbo (Adam Rifkin), a philosophical caveman who yearns for more out of life than sticks, stones, and raw meat.

The rest of his tribe, including his exasperated parents (David Carradine and Talia Shire), write off his absurd gizmos and forward thinking ideas as the ravings of an idiot, something that doesn't help his efforts to impress the beautiful Fardart (Ali Larter), the cavegirl he loves from afar.
