History
First publication: Heinemann, 1896
Review
A considerably thoughtful piece about how human morality is structured, with a scifi/horror element. The line is blurred between man and beast, and a considerable amount of emphasis on the abuse the animals are put through to make them more human is disturbing, as well as what one must consider the scientists would have had to go through to get enough human parts to restructure the animals. The reader is offered a sense of horror and hopelessness as they discover who is the real uncivilized savage of the piece.
