Review of Genes of the Past

The book seems to be related to some research done on a fossil of primitive human belonging to Homo Erectus or Neanderthal time. As we know modern humans have evolved at that boundary. The point that modern humans are lacking a supernatural gene or genetic code is definitely a great matter for a science fiction and fantasy book. Present day scientists would like to introduce it using genetic engineering to create a super race.
This review has very nicely presented the core theme of the book. Thanks.

This book has a very good balance between science fiction and ancient history, the author promises to keep your attention and lead you to investigate a little more about the possibilities regarding our origins. It is a great book that should be brought to the big screen. Good job #BOTD

Genes of the Past is a sci-fi/fantasy brilliantly novel written that it makes the reader wonder if the author is aware of anything going on in the present world that we are not. The plot is simple and well-thought-out: proteins with an unknown function are discovered in a hominid fossil found in the Moroccan desert in the 1960s. This discovery supports the theory that men used a distinct kind of communication in the distant past.
The storyline of finding enigmatic proteins in a hominid fossil presents intriguing issues regarding the potential of human engineering in the future. Throughout the novel, the reader is kept interested by the author's clever and lighthearted writing style. Although the overly detailed meal descriptions may raise some concerns, the author's humor makes them enjoyable rather than annoying. All things considered, this book looks like a fantastic read for fans of science fiction and fantasy who value skillfully written narratives.

The book sounds exciting and intriguing. I got really curious about the ability we've lost so many years ago which could be commersialized in the modern world. It will be interesting to read this book. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

"Genes of the Past" by Christer Jasson must be an interesting book. I long to read it to reignite my imaginations of the future possibilities caused by human engineering.

Anything is possible. We could find that those in the past had a different way of communicating. Could we, in our day, use it?

Congrats on BOTD!
Christer Jansson's compelling science fiction novel "Genes of the Past" tells the story of a secret "superpower" connected to human evolution that is revealed by a fossil discovery made in the 1960s.

A 1960s fossil discovery hints at ancient human communication beyond language; a scientist named Symphony searches for the truth. The novel masterfully blends sci-fi and fantasy, leaving readers pondering the ethical dilemmas of commercializing this potential ability.

While sci-fi is not my favorite genre, I like the type which is relatable, where it is a possible situation in our world. I honestly already had to laugh about the comment of rating cheesecake, I don't think I'd be bothered by excessive food descriptions.

I like how you detailed the review. I am choosy when it comes to sci-fi, but given the hints of how attractive the book is, it speaks volumes about it. Also, I would really want to see how an old fossil develops and runs the plot. Congratulations!
