Contents: From the Jacket:

. . . A gripping, vividly rendered epic of prehistory about the tragic, inevitable clash of two mighty races: the Yilane, cold-blooded intelligent reptiles who have dominated the earth, and the Tanu, warm-blooded humans like ourselves, a proud, fierce hunting clan destined to oppose them.

A fascinating and deeply moving saga of two cultures fated to struggle for control of the earth, WEST OF EDEN is also a scientifically accurate projection o what could have been the true history of our world.

Ben Bova called this book: inventive, engrossing, and solidy based on what might have been.

Thomas N. Scortia felt it superior to DUNE as a totally realized extrapolation

Book includes a detailed appendix describing the history and languages of the species, and showing pictures of the creatures that populate the book.
