They are now faced with a dilemma; if they reintroduce the rebellious and violent Homo Sapiens all of their work will be undone.They decide to raise one final child; a sole human to help decide if humanity should again inherit the Earth.But the quiet and clinical Ima finds that there is more to raising a human than she had expected; and there is more to humanitys history than she has been told.
