Evolution

by Jim Reilly · 2012

+ Want to read

James Connor discovers an alien spacecraft buried along with the remains of early human ancestors, which sets in motion a crisis of human beliefs. The conflict between religion and science — a timeless debate — fuels the story, as humans explore the greatest questions of time: who are we, where did we come from, and what is mankind's role in the universe? Connor's actions make him an unwittingly pawn in an Evolution involving our earliest ancestors, ancient aliens, and the future of us all.
