Red Neanderthals is a book of stories. What happens when a group of ice age humans encounter a group of Neanderthals in the wilds of North Asia thirty thousand years ago? Can we rise above our animal instincts or are we doomed? Why can't a beggar get into a newly consecrated church at Kochi? What or who is he? How did Modern Medicine lose, and who is the indispensible guy? Answers to these and much more, are in this collection of amazingly perceptive stories. They are a window into the human condition.
