Forgive me, but it has been a while since I read these (like, on publication). But, as someone who read Clan of the Cave Bear as a teen, has studied human evolution, and is an archaeology fan - I appreciated the research and world building Vincent Ford put in to this teen series. 
It's worth searching your local library for - especially if you have teens who are struggling to find adventure-forward reads, without much in the way of fantasy or romance / relationship stuff.
