Before Adam is a novel by Jack London, serialized in 1906 and 1907 in Everybody's Magazine. It is the story of a man who dreams he lives the life of an early hominid.
The story offers an early view of human evolution. The majority of the story is told through the eyes of the man's hominid alter ego, one of the Cave People. In addition to the Cave People, there are the more advanced Fire People, and the more animal-like Tree People.
Other characters include the hominid's father, a love interest, and Red-Eye, a fierce "atavism" that perpetually terrorizes the Cave People. A sabre-cat also plays a role in the story.

Notă biografică
Jack London, born John Griffith Chaney on January 12, 1876, in San Francisco, was an influential American novelist, journalist, and social activist. Known for his rugged tales of adventure, London gained fame with works like The Call of the Wild and White Fang, which drew from his experiences during the Klondike Gold Rush. His writing not only entertained but also addressed social issues, including workers' rights and socialism.A prolific writer, London became one of the first American authors to achieve both commercial success and international celebrity. His ability to capture the harsh realities of life and nature in his narratives established him as a key figure in American literature, especially within the Realism and Naturalism movements. Despite his success, London's personal life was marked by struggles with health and financial instability, yet he continued to write prolifically until his untimely death at the age of 40.London's legacy endures through his contributions to literature and his influence on subsequent generations of writers. His works, characterized by their vivid descriptions and exploration of human and animal instincts, remain widely read and studied, reflecting his enduring impact on American literary tradition.
