Review title: Score one for the Homonids
Product review: The story in a nutshell: in a parallel universe, the Neanderthals evolved to become the dominant species while the humans died out. The book's hero, Ponter Bondit, Neanderthal and all around nice guy finds, himself in a parallel universe, namely ours!The story alternates between Bondit's partner trying to figure out a way to get Ponter back (along with other problems I won't mention so as not to spoil the book) and Ponter's experiences on an Earth (ours) decidedly different than the one he came from.What makes the book fascinating is how, sociologically, the Neanderthals dealt with the problems of society. The book gets just a little heavy handed when dealing with our abuses of the environment (vs the saner choices of the Neanderthals) - but it makes valid points and is very thought provoking.
