Inhaltsangabe	<DIV><DIV><I>Before Adam</I> is Jack Londonâs fictional tour de force. In it, he brilliantly recreates the dawn of humanity, depicting the prehistoric world as a place of dark conflict where only the fittest will survive. Tormented by a succession of terrifying dreams, the narrator is faced with the strange truth that his consciousness has become entwined with that of Big-Tooth, his mid-Pleistocene ancestor. Through these dream memories, he witnesses Big-Toothâs life as one of the "Folk" raceÂ-a life without developed language, social structure, or fire. He sees, too, the Folkâs fierce battles for survival against the more advanced Fire People and the primitive Tree People. As he struggles to make sense of Big-Toothâs world, he begins questioning the very notion of eugenics, making <I>Before Adam</I> one of the most pertinent works of its time. American writer Jack London is the author of some of the finest naturalistic adventure stories of the 20th century, most memorably <I>The Call of the Wild.</I></DIV></DIV>
