Before Adam

Jack London

Before Adam blends fascinating sound science with captivating sci-fi speculation. Centered around Darwins theory of evolution and the concept of racial memory, the story follows a modern protagonist who experiences vivid dreams and nightmares, reliving the primal life of one of his proto-human ancestors. This thought-provoking narrative is likely to resonate more with scientifically minded listeners than those who prefer conventional science fiction, such as the works of Edgar Rice Burroughs.
