Saw "Fire and Ash", noted something in the credits about

Candidates to check would be _La Guerre du feu_ (1981) and

THat one doesn't ring a bell.

_The Clan of the Cave Bear_ (1986) with their respective
portrayals of archaic humans.

Darryl Hannah. Do recall having seen that

English Title: Quest For Fire
"Special language forms were created by novelist Anthony Burgess, while patterns of movement and gesture were developed by anthropologist
Desmond Morris."

Of course this refers to _La Guerre du feu_ above. Sorry for misplacement.
