Very good about a major evolutionary change in humans and how society cannot deal with it rationally. Great slow burner. Ended up going out and buying myself a copy of the hardcover because I enjoyed it so much, but despite having read this at the beginning of August I haven't yet gotten around to reading book 2. I think I got burned on Greg Bear when I decided to read something of his when I was either in middle school or high school, and just wasn't old enough to read it and actually understand it, so I've shied away from him ever since. I did the same thing with the Dragon series of Anne McCaffrey's, and when I finally got around to reading it I devoured the whole series. I think, now that I've come back to him, Greg Bear and I are likely to be good friends. Una bióloga, Kaye Lang, y un epidemiólogo, Christopher Dicken, temen que algo que ha permanecido dormido en nuestros genes durante millones de años empiece a despertar. Junto con el antropólogo Mitch Rafelson, son los únicos capaces de resolver un rompecabezas evolutivo que puede determinar el futuro de la especie humana... So… I like the science ideas presented in this book…but the further I got into it, I felt the flatter the characters became(though the female lead at times exhibited some trope tendencies, but maybe not; maybe just my reading into things). But these are more minor quibbles than major impediments. And then the last third or so, it became a different book from what it had been in the beginning- but I realized this was due to the progression of the plot which had moved beyond the political infighting that was so much a part of the beginnings. And upon further reflection, this is where the plot had to go; while reading, I had anticipated the plot going the way it went, so I can’t be surprised when it went there. If you read it, read it for the science. I think if most books steadily build to a climax, this one out of the gate starts at a high level and maintained it most of the way through Edit/update: so I think I was harsher in my initial review than I intended; I think I was unduly influenced having read some one star reviews that amplified some thoughts I’d had, but they were minor compared with the over all impact of the book, so I edited my review. PS. Highly interesting review in NYRB Why Did They Vanish a book by Rebecca Wragg Sykes titled Kindred: Neanderthal Life, Love, Death and Art exploring new discoveries in archeology and our relationship with Neanderthals.
