A N C E S T R Y — H U M A N ;O R I G I N — ? ? ? Captain van Tromp decided that it was time to throw a tantrum. “This man Smith—This ‘man!’ Can’t you see that he is not?” “Eh?” “Smith…is…not…a…man.” “Huh? Explain yourself, Captain.” “Smith is an intelligent creature with the ancestry of a man, but he is more Martian than man. Until we came along he had never laid eyes on a man. He thinks like a Martian, feels like a Martian. He’s been brought up by a race which has nothing in common with us—they don’t even have sex. He’s a man by ancestry, a Martian by environment…” Books by Robert A.
