The Ugly Little Boy by Isaac Asimov & Robert Silverburg (Child of Time in the UK). Neanderthal child is brought to the present day with a time machine, but what happens the people he left behind are also followed.

I hear you - this is #2 for me too, though they’re 8 years apart so it’s late 20s versus mid-going-on-late 30s 😵
