GENESIS
By H. Beam Piper
FEATURE NOVELET
OF LOST WORLDS
Was this ill-fated expedition the end of a proud, old race--or the
beginning of a new one?
There are strange gaps in our records of the past. We find traces
of man-like things--but, suddenly, man appears, far too much
developed to be the "next step" in a well-linked chain of
evolutionary evidence. Perhaps something like the events of this
story furnishes the answer to the riddle.
Aboard the ship, there was neither day nor night; the hours slipped
gently by, as vistas of star-gemmed blackness slid across the
visiscreens.
