Hominids examines two unique species of people. We
are one of those species; the other is the Neanderthals of a
parallel world where they became the dominant intelligence.
The Neanderthal civilization has reached heights of culture
and science comparable to our own, but with radically
different history, society and philosophy.
Ponter
Boddit, a Neanderthal physicist, accidentally pierces the
barrier between worlds and is transferred to our universe.
Almost immediately recognized as a Neanderthal, but only
much later as a scientist, he is quarantined and studied,
alone and bewildered, a stranger in a strange land. But
Ponter is also befriended—by a doctor and a physicist who
share his questing intelligence, and especially by Canadian
geneticist Mary Vaughan, a woman with whom he develops a
special rapport.
Ponter’s partner, Adikor Huld,
finds himself with a messy lab, a missing body, suspicious
people all around and an explosive murder trial. How can he
possibly prove his innocence when he has no idea what
actually happened to Ponter?
