Overview: "A Story of the Stone Age" is a short story written in 1897 by H. G. Wells. The story was featured in three parts between May and August 1897 in The Idler magazine and was later released in collected editions. The story is set during the Stone Age and tells of a caveman named Ugh-Lomi, who bonds with the young woman Eudena and kills his rival, the de facto tribal leader Uya.
