Hominids by Robert J.Sawyer examines two unique species of people. We are one of those species; the other is the Neanderthals of another world where they became the main intelligent race. The main protagonist is Ponter Boddit who is a neanderthal physicist in his world who accidentally pierces the barrier between both worlds and is teleported into our universe. So it's about a Neanderthal who is learning about our world and how our world reacts to a living neanderthal.
Hominids is a very odd sci-fi story that shows the difference between our two governments. Hominids has a mediocre story line, dull characters in which i mean are unrealistic and very boring, and the book Hominid has some unneeded parts like one of the female characters being raped, which doesn't really relate to the story in any way. In all honesty it was a really uninteresting read and I felt that I had to force myself to finish this book in order to fully understand this book. I also felt that this book was very biased in many areas and makes us humans look like the bad guys while the pacifist neanderthals are the good guys, and only because their privacy and rights has been breached in every possible way. So in all this book was unappealing and very boring and if given a rating out of five it would be a 2/5 only because of how he relates the different types of governments.
