This sequel to DARWIN'S RADIO concerns the next step in human evolution. These new people are more intelligent, more in tune with their environment and communicate in a slightly different way (with pheremones). It's fifteen years after the first book and mankind hasn't dealt with the situation very well. All of the 'new' children have been placed in relocation 'camps', taken away from their families, while the panicked government tries to decide what to do with them. The public at large thinks they are a threat to humanity and should be exterminated. But when a group of ancient human bones are discovered, which show modern man and homo erectus living and working together in order to survive, some of those views begin to change. The main story concerns a young woman who is taken away from her parents and how she eventually escapes to live in a hidden colony of the 'new people'. Written by Greg Bear.
