Before Adam - 編著: 閱亮點編輯室 - Bookniverse

What if your wildest nightmares are actually real ancestral memories? In Before Adam, a teenager is haunted by vivid, terrifying dreams of a dual personality — Big-Tooth, an early human struggling to survive a brutal prehistoric world. This gripping evolutionary thriller follows Big-Tooth as he navigates tribal rivalries, deadly predators, and a passionate, dangerous pursuit of the mysterious Swift One, all while the advanced ‘Fire People’ threaten his tribe's very existence.****************************The mastermind behind this prehistoric tale, Jack London, lived a life that was just as adventurous as his stories. Born into poverty in San Francisco, USA, London worked as a teenage factory worker, a sailor, and a gold prospector before becoming a world-famous writer. His intense real-life experiences gave him a deep appreciation for the raw struggle for existence, which became the theme of his masterpieces like The Call of the Wild and White Fang. London was a passionate reader who educated himself in public libraries, where he discovered the works of Charles Darwin and evolutionary psychologists. Before Adam was born directly from this intellectual fascination. London wanted to dramatise the evolutionary ladder, using his own experiences of childhood nightmares and his love for the untamed wilderness to construct a realistic vision of our evolutionary past.
