This story was a refreshing departure from what I normally read. It is fiction presented as a mini study in paleoanthropology set in the Rift Valley of Africa. The premise for the story is a portion of the Rift Valley
that has gone undisturbed and unchanged for more than three million years and is presented as a transition in the evolution of our species. It contains all the bad guys you could possibly want plus the good guys, greed, corruption, political chicanery, and academic arrogance. All in all a good heavy read considering the subject.

I could not get into this novel. I did not appreciate the writing style. I am sure others will, but it was not for me.
