Almost Adam by Petru Popescu Review

Plot summary:

Paleoanthropologist Ken Lauder encounters the inconceivable while stranded in the African savanna -- a proto-human eight-year-old boy from a breed thought to have been extinct for two million years. Even as political unrest grows in Kenya, this startling encounter pulls Lauder deep into the world of our ancient ancestors and fills him with awe as he and the boy form a bond that spans the millennia.

Imagine�a place so remote it has escaped evolution. Imagine�prehistoric footprints leading back in time. Imagine�they were made yesterday. A stunning blend of adventure, science, romance, and man's quest to understand his origins, "Almost Adam" combines fascinating scientific speculation with scientific fact to explore the mysteries of how we became "human."

His book is an engrossing, adventurous, unforgettable tale.� Far more compelling than Neanderthal.� It's readily apparent that Petru Popescu has done his homework.� I highly recommend this novel.
