When luck, curiosity, imagination and inventiveness combine to save the day, it's not the end at all but a new beginning, with two worlds eager to learn more about what links them and what holds them apart. He is captured and studied, alone and bewildered, a stranger in a strange land.īack home, Ponter's research partner is left with a messy lab, a missing body, suspicious people all around and a murder trial that he can't possibly win because he doesn't know what happened. During a risky physics experiment deep in a mine in Canada, a Neanderthal physicist, Ponter Boddit, is accidentally transferred to our universe, where another experiment is taking place in the same mine.

In that world, Neanderthal civilization has reached heights of culture and science comparable to our own, but very different in detail and philosophy. Hominids, the first book of the Neanderthal Parallax, is a story of parallel worlds, ours and another in which Neanderthals, not homo sapiens, became the dominant intelligent species.
