Hominids by Robert J. Sawyer

5.0

After reading Clan of the Cave Bear I sougt out similar books, early humans and neanderthal interaction. Luckily, in my search, I found Robert Sawyer. Although his writing isn't historical, more sci-fi, combining not time travel, more like multi-verse, alternative reality travel, writing about a world in which humans didn't survive in the other universe but neanderthals. In the first book, by a fluke in a scientific experiment, the two worlds, ours and the neanderthals, the two seperate universes, are open for travel, a back in forth in which, one human woman goes to their world and a neanderthal man comes and goes to ours. As their relationship develops we see the differences and what it may take for them to stay together. I have never been so happy to stumble upon a reader while searching for new books and continues to read all of Sawyer, loving him to this day. He will remain one of my favorite top authors (for over 15 years now)!!
