The film lacks LGBTQ+ characters or non-heteronormative identities. It focuses on traditional romantic and familial structures common in 1970s adventure cinema.

Narrative agency is concentrated in male characters leading the expedition. Female characters occupy supportive or vulnerable roles, reinforcing conventional gender archetypes.

The cast is predominantly homogeneous, reflecting a Western expeditionary focus. The narrative uses the 'primitive other' trope rather than providing nuanced ethnic agency.

The story reinforces Western notions of discovery and scientific inquiry. It maintains a hierarchy where explorers represent modernity encountering prehistory.

There is no meaningful portrayal of physical or neurodivergent disabilities. Characters are defined by the standard physical capabilities required for the adventure genre.
