From their beginnings foraging at the feet of the dinosaurs, through the apocalypse of an asteroid strike, through countless years of the day to day life and death dramas of survival of the fittest the primate, to the rise and fall of mankind and the final destruction of earth by the expanding sun, the primates have survived. This is their story.
EVOLUTION follows the ebb and flow of the fortunes of one group of creatures as they change and adapt to their world somewhere on the horn of Africa. It turns the story of Darwinian evolution into a constant drama, a daily life and death struggle, a heroic story of life¿s endurance. It is a story that transcends generations, species, mankind and, in the end, the Earth itself. In the tradition of Olaf Stapledon and HG Wells.

Cover Art: Getty Images / EkhornForss Ilustrador. 2002 Edition. © 2002: A stand-alone novel by Stephen Baxter. 1st printing of 2002 edition:- Synopsis: Their story began when dinosaurs dominated the Earth. And, down through countless millennia of the day-to-day dramas of survival of the fittest, they have survived. The Primates. They dodged the thunderous feet and scything teeth of the dinosaurs. 65 million years ago they survived the apocalyptic asteroid strike and inherited an empty world. They have been carried by the infinitely slow, stately dance of the continents, lived through the swift advance and retreat of the great ice packs. They fumbled their way out of the forests, they became human, they covered the Earth, they fell but they have survived. And they have evolved. Adapted to life on a changing, dying world. This is their story. 'Evolution' follows the ebb and flow of one stream in the great river of DNA. It turns the story of Darwinian evolution into a constant drama, a daily life and death struggle, a heroic story of life's endurance. It is a story that transcends generations, species, mankind and, in the end, the Earth itself:- Review(s): "Speaking as an evolutionary biologist, Stephen Baxter has persuaded me that we really could have evolved as he describes in the stories he tells" - Jack Cohen DSc, PhD / "A stunning talent!" - Locus:- (original cost £12.99).
