Before Adam is a novel by Jack London, first published in 1906. The story is a mix of adventure, romance, and science fiction. It is set in the prehistoric times and follows the life of a man named Big-Tooth, who is the ancestor of modern humans. The novel is told from the perspective of Big-Tooth, who is trying to make sense of his world and the creatures that inhabit it. He is a member of a tribe of early humans who are struggling to survive in a harsh environment. The story is filled with vivid descriptions of the landscape, the animals, and the challenges that Big-Tooth and his tribe face. Along the way, he falls in love with a woman named the Swift One, and they embark on a dangerous journey together. The novel explores themes of evolution, survival, and the human condition. It is a fascinating look at the origins of humanity and the struggles that our ancestors faced in their quest for survival.The first morning, after my night's sleep with Lop-Ear, I learned the advantage of the narrow-mouthed caves. It was just daylight when old Saber-Tooth, the tiger, walked into the open space. Two of the Folk were already up. They made a rush for it. Whether they were panic-stricken, or whether he was too close on their heels for them to attempt to scramble up the bluff to the crevices, I do not know.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
