Summary

Set against the backdrop of rapidly approaching climate catastrophe, scientists Kate Larkin and Jay Gunesekera are recruited by tech billionaire and mogul Davis Hucken to the forests of Tasmania, Australia. His foundation's mission is not only halting the effects of climate change, but to re-engineer and reverse the damage through the ambitious process of reviving species lost to the earth over time through natural and unnatural means. Including a clandestine ambition to resurrect the Neanderthals. When Eve, the first child, is born and grows up in a world crumbling around her, questions arise that she and Kate must face. Is she human or not, real or unnatural, and is she the ghost species or are we?

As more and more of us are waking up to the truth about our climate and our need to reverse the damage we have caused, James Bradley's novel is incredibly timely, poignant and reflective on what it means to be human on a personal and a global scale.

not what I thought

this is just a story of a women with a tramatic past who ends up raising a Neanderthal girl..it feel more like a drama of a single mum caring for in out cast child...the auther get so much wrong about what experts believe about Neanderthals .he claims experts thnk they where thick brutish and cant even use fire...when any expert would tell you they had fire cocked made small boats and paint and made advance tools and clothing ..the writer really did not bother looking up what experts believed he also makes the claim that it is beyond down that humans killed them all..something else an expert would not tell you ...so poor reserch on topic and the Neanderthal is just a prop to tell the story of a troubled single mum
