## Description

What if when Columbus came to the New World he found, not Indians, but primitive apelike men who were soon dubbed " sims"? These immediate ancestors of modern man were less effective hunters, allowing prehistoric creatures such as mammoths and saber-toothed tigers to survive. Unable to learn human speech or conceptualize at a human level, sims could, however, be trained to do reliable work... as slaves.
