Orphan of Creation
Roger MacBride Allen
An anthropologist stumbles across a stunning secret that will put the very definition of humanity suddenly in doubt. Are the bone she discovers buried on a old Mississippi plantation the remains of humans, or apes -- or something else? The answer will turn her life, and the world, upsidedown.
