Shanti's non-European friends think of her as different from the 'others', a terms reserved for Europeans by the foreign students, most of whom are paranoid about race distinctions. Marie Elena, a sociologist with prophetic judgements about people, and south American Carlos and Aline are Shanti's friends but her close reltaionship with the strange Dominique, the only person to whom she confesses her love for the cold and married Etienne, is the catalyst of her story.

THE ANCESTOR'S TALE is a pilgrimage back through time; a journey on which we meet up with fellow pilgrims as we and they converge on our common ancestors. Chimpanzees join us at about 6 million years in the past, orang utans at 14 million years, as we stride on together, a growing band. The journey provides the setting for a collection of some 40 tales. Each explores an aspect of evolutionary biology through the stories of characters met along the way. The tales are interspersed with prologues detailing the journey, route maps showing joining lineages, and life-like reconstructions of our common ancestors. THE ANCESTOR'S TALE represents a pilgrimage on an unimaginable scale: our goal is four billion years away, and the number of pilgrims joining us grows vast - ultimately encompassing all living creatures. At the end of the journey lies something remarkable in its simplicity and transformative power: the first, humble, replicating molecules.
