"Homo Inferior" by Mari Wolf is a science fiction novel rooted in themes of identity and societal division, written during the early 1950s. The narrative explores a future world where a new race has emerged, completely devoid of the emotions and conflicts that once characterized humanity. The story revolves around Eric, a boy who is different from his peers and struggles with his sense of identity in a world that has largely forgotten the old human race, which journeyed to the stars. The plot follows Eric as he seeks understanding of his heritage and loneliness in a world that does not accept him. He meets a teacher, Walden, who introduces him to the old race's history through books, igniting Eric's desire to learn and comprehend his origins. As he delves deeper, Eric discovers a small community of primitive people, including a girl named Lisa, who are similar to him in their inability to perceive the world as the new race does. However, as he connects with this new group, peril looms as authorities become aware of Eric's existence. Faced with the choice of conforming to the expectations of the new race or pursuing a different path, Eric ultimately decides to take flight and search for a future among the stars, embodying the primal longing of humanity to explore and understand their place in the universe.
