I remember at the time there were book readers going "no in the book the cavemen were highlanders, it was way better" as if putting them in kilts would have made then going Hup hup cake! and learning how to fly harriers in about a day better than the pilots in the past did better or at least make more sense.

It also falls into that thing that ancient alien theorists always talk about how aliens came to earth for gold, because gold is valuable everywhere right?

I gave up on the book after the point where the movie ends because it grinds to a halt, but at least in the book instead of old fighter jets that mysteriously still work, the humans use the alien learning machine thing to teach themselves how to fly stolen alien fighter crafts. Like, it's a pretty terrible book, but it's way more coherent than the movie.
