Two unique human species. The man of reason and the Neanderthal man. It was the Neanderthals who became the dominant species in the parallel world. Their civilization is comparable to ours, their science and technology is more highly developed, and their culture, society, and philosophy are radically different.
Ponter Boddet, a Neanderthal physicist, accidentally breaks the barrier between worlds and is transported to our universe. Almost immediately he is recognized as a Neanderthal, and only later as a scientist. He finds himself quarantined, lonely and confused, a stranger in a strange land. But Pontera manages to make friends with a doctor and a physicist, and especially with Canadian geneticist Mary Vaughan, with whom he has a special understanding.
Ponter's colleague, Adekor Huld, faces chaos in the lab, the disappearance of a body, suspicion from his kin, and an explosive murder investigation. How can he prove his innocence when he has no idea what really happened to Ponter?
Contact between humans and Neanderthals produces a relationship fraught with conflict, philosophical problems, and threats to the existence of one species or the other-or both. A relationship equally rich with limitless opportunities for cooperation and growth on many levels, from the practical to the aesthetic, from the scientific to the spiritual.
