I didn't really get it to be honest. I feel like something went over my head.

  Fair enough.. It's not really sci-fi. Just a quiet slice of life with a twist. If I may be so bold, this story would have sucked when I was younger, but now that I've been acquainted with the ages of all the characters, it makes sense.

    The big bear tended the fire, breaking up the dry branches by holding one end and stepping on them, like people do. He was good at keeping it going at the same level. Another bear poked the fire from time to time but the others left it alone. It looked like only a few of the bears knew how to use fire and were carrying the others along. But isn’t that how it is with everything? Every once in a while, a smaller bear walked into the circle of firelight with an armload of wood and dropped it onto the pile. Median wood has a silvery cast, like driftwood.

  Same, I thought the newberries were going to be some sort of intelligence enhancer.

    perhaps the command by l sprague de camp would be more to your liking if you're more interested in a story more explicitly about bear uplift like that
