Summary :

Where do we come from?

After the infinitely small (Ants trilogy), after the mystery of death (The Thanatonauts), Bernard Werber turns his attention to a new frontier of our knowledge: the origins of humanity.

Why are there humans on Earth? Why are they intelligent? Why are they conscious?

We are thus plunged 3 million years back into the African savanna to follow, day by day, the adventures of the first human, the famous missing link, Adam, the... Father of our fathers. In parallel, in the present day, all those who have discovered the true nature of this primordial being are in serious trouble.

What is this secret that no one wants to face?

Lucrezia Nemrod, a reporter as tenacious as she is mischievous, accompanied by her accomplice Isidore Katzenberg, a disillusioned former scientific journalist, bravely embarks on the investigation. From Paris to Tanzania begins a thrilling chase where they meet a club of passionate scientists, an industrial charcutière, an adult film star, and some primates who are asking strange questions.

Suspense, humor, science, adventure... the revelation awaiting us at the end of this paleontological thriller could well change our vision of the world.
