From the cover:
Greg Bear's fiction ingeniously combines cutting edge
science and unforgettable characters. It has won multiple
Hugo and Nebula Awards and choruses of critical acclaim.
Now, with Darwin's Radio, Bear creates a non stop thriller
swirling with provocative ideas about the next step in
human evolution.
In a cave high in the Alps, a renegade anthropologist
discovers a frozen Neanderthal couple, with a Homo Sapiens
baby. Meanwhile, in southern Russia, the U.N. investigation
of a mysterious mass grave is cut short. One of the
investigators, molecular biologist Kaye Lang, returns home
to the U.S. to learn that her theory on human retroviruses
has been verified with the discovery of SHEVA, a virus that
has slept in our DNA for millions of years and is now waking
up. How are these seemingly disparate events connected?
Kaye Lang and her colleagues must race against a genetic
time bomb to find out.
