Prehistoric animals and people appearing in the present
Most of the time things come and go as expected and the world evolves.
But every once and a while something out of place appears.
These movies revolve around a plot where something, or some one,
from the past (very distant past) pops up in the present.
It's usually a dinosaur, but sometimes a caveman makes it through.
(Just once I'd like to see a prehistoric cow make it through)
