Erectus

Synopsis of Erectus

In Richards Bay, South Africa, a shocking phenomenon occurs: a man begins to transform, losing his speech and developing primitive features. Soon, packs of Homo erectus appear in cities like Paris, New York, and Geneva, plunging the world into chaos and panic. Faced with this terrifying epidemic of evolutionary regression, French scientist Anna Meunier embarks on a race against time to uncover the origin of the virus and determine whether these beings are ancestors to be protected or wild beasts threatening humanity. This gripping novel by Xavier Müller explores a planetary nightmare scenario where the line between man and beast blurs, raising profound ethical dilemmas about the survival of our species.
