"Before Adam" is a novel by Jack London that delves into the concept of human
evolution. The story follows a man who dreams of living the life of an early
hominid, offering a unique perspective on human development. The narrative is
primarily told through the eyes of the man's hominid alter ego, with the
presence of the more advanced Fire People and the animal-like Tree People
adding depth to the plot. The characters include the hominid's father, a love
interest, and Red-Eye, a fierce "atavism" that instills fear in the Cave
People. Additionally, a sabre-cat plays a significant role in the story.
Notably, scholars have identified strong eugenic themes in "Before Adam,"
adding a thought-provoking layer to the novel. The novel is available at
Standard Ebooks, Project Gutenberg, and as a public domain audiobook at
LibriVox, showcasing its enduring popularity and accessibility.
