Sur Terre, quelque soixante-cinq millions d'années avant notre ère. Alors que les dinosaures régnent en maîtres sur le monde, une petite créature appelée Purga lutte pour survivre. Purga est un purgatorius, l'un des tout premiers mammifères, et l'ancêtre de l'humanité. Elle vit la nuit, et sa principale occupation consiste à trouver de la nourriture pour elle et ses petits. Elle aurait pu poursuivre ainsi son existence, mais la chute d'un météore va tout bouleverser. L'écosystème subit de gigantesques mutations, les dinosaures s'éteignent, et la longue marche vers ce qui, un jour, deviendra l'homme peut commencer... D'où venons-nous ? Où allons-nous ? En descendant, branche après branche, l'arbre généalogique de l'humanité, Stephen Baxter tente de restituer de la manière la plus exacte possible, et non sans humour, le quotidien de nos ancêtres, et d'imaginer ce que pourrait être celui de nos descendants, cinq cents millions d'années après notre ère. Un fabuleux voyage à travers le temps, dans lequel Stephen Baxter, en maître de la science-fiction réaliste, mêle avec talent Histoire, science et imaginaire.

### Amazon.com Review Following up his cosmic Manifold series, Stephen Baxter peers back on a more prosaic history in the worthy yet uneven _Evolution_. The book is nothing less than a novelization of human evolution, a mega-Michener treatment of 65 million years starring a host of smart, furry pri
