A boy blinded by fire. A woman raised by wolves. An avowed enemy offers help. In this second in the Dawn of Humanity trilogy, the first trilogy in the Man vs. Nature saga, Lucy and her eclectic group escape the treacherous tribe that has been hunting them and find a safe haven in the famous Wonderwerk caves in South Africa, the oldest known occupation of caves by humans. They don’t have clothing, fire, or weapons, but the caves keep them warm and food is plentiful. Circumstances make it clear that they can't stay, not with the rest of her tribe enslaved by the treacherous enemy. To free them requires not only the prodigious skills of Lucy's unique group--which includes a proto-wolf and a female raised by the pack--but others who have no reason to assist her and instinct tells Lucy she shouldn't trust. Set 1.8 million years ago in Africa, Lucy and her band of early humans struggle against the harsh reality of a world ruled by nature, where predators stalk them and a violent new species of man threatens to destroy their world. Only by changing can they prevail. If you ever wondered how earliest man survived but couldn’t get through the academic discussions, this book is for you. Prepare to see this violent and beautiful world in a way you never imagined.

I am very interested in pre-history and have visited the Cradle of Mankind, Sterkfontein Caves, and Maropeng exhibition several times as well as the paleontology department at the University of the Witwatersrand. As a result, I have a good knowledge of the time period in which this series is set, and how humanity lived, hunted and created tools. I have also read the Earth Children series of books by Jean M. Auel. When I came across the Dawn of Humanity series by Ms. Murray, I knew I had to read it.

I have not been disappointed by this, or any of Ms. Murray's other pre-historical books. The attention to detail and research is impeccable and I not found any errors relating to the theories and research findings of the period. I particularly appreciate the authenticity of these books which I have not experienced to the same degree in the other pre-historical novels I have read.

Laws of Nature picks up where book 1 left off with Lucy and her small tribe of diverse members and personalities trying to find a new and safer home after their larger tribe was attacked and many members taken prisoner.

Lucy is of the Man Who Makes Tools tribe, a peace loving race of 'uprights' who prefer to live in harmony with the land and the animals which populate it. The advent of Man Who Preys, a more aggressive race of 'uprights' who attack and kill other tribes and also animals, has forced Lucy and many of her fellow tribesmen to flee to save their lives and reestablish their peaceable lifestyles somewhere else.

I enjoyed Lucy's travel companions: Ump the Canis, Boah the Tree-Man, Garv, Lucy's soul-mate, and Voi, Lucy's son. My favourite, other than Lucy who represents a strong and innovative woman and leader, was Boah. He is a good natured and peaceable man with certain limitations that he tries hard to overcome in order to be useful to his small tribe.

The captured half of Lucy's tribe are also determined to escape and find Lucy. There is also another man, an enemy of Man Who Makes Tools, who is seeking Lucy for his own purposes. The story is told from each of the three perspectives, Lucy's tribe, the escapees, and the tracker, as it follows each of these primary story threads.

A superbly researched and exciting book with a fascinating pre-historical setting that will not disappoint.

Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2021

I loved this book even more than the first in Jacqui Murray's Dawn of Humanity trilogy. This new chapter in the story of Lucy and her eclectic little tribe picks up straight after the first left off and the reader is swept back to the prehistoric past where life is an ongoing set of challenges to be faced in the search for food and water, shelter and safety.

Lucy's little band are travelling south through Africa in search of a new home base, encountering new terrain, harsh and freezing weather and the continuing threat of attack from other tribes and animals. The meticulous research undertaken by the author makes for an utterly believable prehistorical world, from the descriptions of the long-extinct inhabitants, to the ways in which the characters communicate and interact, each bringing their own skills and strengths to Lucy's team. The characters are so well-drawn that the reader becomes truly invested in them, and there are many heart-in-the-mouth moments for each of them along the way.

The book ends, but the story continues into the final part of the trilogy. I really can't wait to read it!

Highly recommended. If you haven't read prehistorical fiction before, I urge you to try it. This author's skillful story-telling will have you hooked.

I can't wait for the next book!
Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2021

I loved the first book of “Dawn of Humanity” and had been eager to read this story. This engaging read followed two groups, split apart in the last book, trying to find each other. The most interesting was the character following these two groups and the one who joined up with him. When reading, I was completely drawn into the story down to saying “ick” when they ate their raw meat or sucked the marrow out of a bone. The attention to detail and amount of research is amazing, including how they communicated, groomed, interacted, and traveled. Lucy’s group shows an inclusion that is inspiring and relevant, especially in modern times. I appreciated a strong female character who applied logic to dangerous situations. I can’t wait for the next book and highly recommend “Laws of Nature!”

Jacqui captures the history of man and adds a story with all five senses. Smell in particular plays a part in identifying who you are feeling near you. Fear has a smell too. The journey and migration of people across the land to find a home, food and a safe place to live brings them into contact with danger unimaginable.
I am enjoying Jaquie's carefully researched series. If you like Clan of the Cave Bear you will love Laws of Nature.

Lucy struggles are a good story, those around, Voi, Garv, Boah, Ump, Wild and finally Xha. Also the interacting stories of Raza’s Group helps flesh it out.

One of the most gripping reads I've come across!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 8, 2026
Format: KindleVerified Purchase
When I was a child, I loved Enid Blyton’s books and couldn’t wait to borrow the next in the series. I outgrew them and moved on. To my surprise, this series by Jacqui Murray about our prehistoric ancestors has instilled that same engagement and I’m already nearly halfway through the third in this trilogy and have broken off to write this review of the second book.
Lucy (Homo Habilis) isn’t wanted by her tribe and leaves to make her own way in a violent and changing world. Her acceptance of disparate stragglers into her new group, including Tree-Man and Canis, point to her wisdom. Homo Erectus is dominating the landscape, but one of them, Xha, is fascinated by Lucy and secretly studies her. What he learns is that the combined, perceived weaknesses of this group are also their strengths. Each different member brings something of value and is valued. Decisions are not made by one person, but considered by them all.
Lucy is curious, brave, resourceful and intelligent. She knows how to heal through natural remedies, and is resolved to adapt and learn new skills to increase the chances of survival.
The first book introduced me to others that Lucy lived with. In the second book, a group of these is struggling to meet up with her again, but the journey is beset by danger and treachery. Whenever one of those I’d come to admire died, the feeling of loss was very real.
I’m going back to the third book now. I have to know what happens next.
