A Different Flesh

This early Turtledove work is a great piece of work, posing -- and sometimes answering -- sensitive questions relative to our debates on animal rights, race, ethnicity, and more. And it's a great story! REPUBLISH IT!

"A Different Flesh" shows an extremely likely outcome of the world's history if one simple factor in history had changed; namely, the arrival of modern man via the Alaskan land bridge. In this carefully written book, he explores several periods of Americal history where the Native American has been replaced by Homo Erectus, and the resulting theological, historical, judicial, moral, practical, and political changes worldwide. He uses his Ph.D in history and the resources of the universities we works at to carefully extrapolate the future from a different past, and his writing experience to create colorful, realistic, and deep characters
