The Last Ancestor

The Last Ancestor  By John Francis Kinsella

Scott Fitznorman is an international dealer in Asian and Tribal Art. He and Kate Lundy set off for Borneo in search of valuable ethnic art and heirlooms in the longhouses of the tribal peoples living in the remote mountainous regions of Sarawak. They make a startling discovery and a scientific expedition sets out to explore the traces of human ancestors deep in the rainforests of Borneo. Scott’s quest leads him into an unexpected adventure in search of the history of human origins, criss-crossing the planet in search of explanations. His plans are upset as Indonesia is caught up in the throes of an insurrectional crisis as violence wracks Borneo.
