Stanley Waterloo ~5 hr read

One soul is reborn again and again across the whole sweep of human prehistory, from the first ape-man to the fall of Alesia.

Stanley Waterloo's 1914 novel follows 'Scar, the Link' through successive lives, axeman, bowman, boatman, lake-dweller, dramatizing the ascent of humankind as a single continuous adventure. A grand evolutionary romance in the tradition Waterloo helped found with his earlier 'The Story of Ab.' Read it for an ambitious prehistoric epic that turns the whole story of our species into one man's serial reincarnation.
