Anthropological Literature,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Jack London 1 - Before Adam & other stories (Classic Science Fiction & Fantasy) (Hardcover)
London rarely fails to please. Before Adam is no exception, and this collection includes short stories suitable for use in an anthropology course (as I did with the short story "Relic of the Pliocene"). Before Adam is a surprisingly prescient reconstruction of a prehistoric world inhabited by more than one hominin species (in this case, what could be an early arboreal genus, a cave-dwelling "Folk" remotely resembling neandertal, and fully modern humans armed with anachronistic weapons). Well comparable to William Golding's novel The Inheritors, but not as anthropologically accurate. Still, a good imagining for the early twentieth century.
