Synopsis:
What if Homo Sapiens was just a rather special breed of galactic wild rabbit?
Or a high class form of goldfish- Homo-Piscis?
What if he were spiritually inferior to a resurrected version of Neanderthal Man-who
can even beat him at American football?
Apeman, Spaceman is a collection of anthropological SF stories which all pose the what is man's place in the universe? To someone, somewhere, we are inferior, perhaps even unnoticable, and yet here we are teaching dolphins cheap tricks. But one day...
