Hominids by Robert J. Sawyer

Robert J. Sawyer is one of my favourite science-fiction writers. With Hominids he once again proves why he is one of the most brilliant sci-fi thinkers around. In this highly enjoyable book, Sawyer creates a parallel universe where Neanderthals have become the dominant “human” species on the Planet. When this parallel world find a way to cross into our universe – where homo sapiens are the dominant species – the result is wonderful thought experiment that touches on such themes as religion, physics and what it means to be human.
