And just like that, Zona drops the big bombshell on Eetori and Aura. How do you think they will act going forward?
Also, it might be strange to you guys that the soldiers are just now realizing that Zona is pregnant. This is not unlike how ignorant Icari was early on. I felt like this was a good way to show just how isolated these people are, not just from the outside world, but from each other.
Since Zona is Neanderthal and women mountain dwellers are slimmer and always covered, the men might’ve simply thought Zona was heavy-set. Plus the fact they didn’t look that close at her since she was a mostly naked heathen and something unpleasant to view.
Among the great apes, pregnant females, even close to due date, aren’t as obviously pregnant the way pregnant humans are. I’m not saying Neanderthal looked like apes because they didn’t but their physiology might be just different enough to make it more fifficult to distinguish a pregnant female.
