Et moderne menneske gennemlever en endeløs række af uforklarlige mareridt hver eneste nat. De rummer alle en utrolig detaljerigdom og er tilsyneladende erindringer fra én og samme forfader; et abemenneske, der eksisterede engang i en for længst svunden verden. Abemennesket, som optræder i drømmene, har intet avanceret sprog og mangler helt det moderne menneskes sofistikerede intelligens. Det har til gengæld højt udviklede sanser og en utrolig kropslig motorik. Nutidsmennesket sætter sig for at kategorisere drømmene og bliver på den måde i stand til at rekonstruere mindet om et levet liv for meget længe siden; et liv i træernes grene i kæmpe vidtstrakte skove.Originaltitel: ”Before Adam”, 1906. Oversat af J. Frost, 1911.Efter romanen, følger desuden novellen “Manden fra Stenalderen” af samme forfatter. Oversat af Knud Poulsen, 1919 fra “When the World was young”, 1910.
