Two Hundred Thousand Years presents snapshots of life since the dawn of mankind. In an engaging series of short stories, characters live the human experience and journey through the great gateways of human history, seeking answers to compelling questions such as: .How did man, a physical weakling, rise to dominate a planet of powerful carnivores? .Does contemporary man differ from his ancient predecessors? .Can man's future be seen in his past? .Is man good, evil, both, or neither? .What will likely end man's reign on earth? Characters learn what it means to be human-in both good times and bad. In "Fire," an African tribesman struggles to cope after his three-year-old child is swept away by a powerful river. In "The Hunt," a clan braves the tundra as they seek to kill bison, driving off other carnivores, and finding ways to keep warm in their bid to continue living. In "The Astronaut," a spaceman marvels at passing through perhaps the greatest gateway of all: outer space. Entertaining and thought provoking, "Two Hundred Thousand Years" explores how man got to where he is today and where he might be going in the future." | Two Hundred Thousand Years by J G Jung, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
