In 1968, Stanley Kubrick unleashed his film 2001: A Space Odyssey, from a screenplay co-written with Arthur C Clarke. While set in the (then) future, the film begins with the prehistoric, where a group of primates are woken at dawn by an operatically singing, smooth black obelisk: an alien intelligence. Soon after, one of these apes - an alpha-male called Moon-Watcher in Clarke's accompanying novel - plays with skeletal remains scattered across a dry landscape. The potential of these bones as a tool gradually dawns on him, and he eventually works out that he could smash a skull into spectacular smithereens. This leads to a scene in which Moon-Watcher bludgeons another from a competing tribe to death in a territorial dispute over a watering hole.
