It’s a long time since I read THE AVA...Kaor, Sean!<br /><br />It’s a long time since I read THE AVATAR, but it could be that some long-ago proto-Others became holothetes, and what they learned and accomplished contributed to making the Others what they are now. Also, am I confusing this with something else from some other Poul Anderson novel, or did Caitlin also say that in time humans would become Others without ceasing to be human? So in that sense, the childless Joelle may be ancestral to the two Others.<br /><br />Best Regards,<br />NicholasNicholas D.

Here I have to disagree with Caitlin,...Kaor, Paul!<br /><br />Here I have to disagree with Caitlin, because her remark does not make logical sense. How can Joelle be somehow "ancestral" to the Others if they were vastly more ancient than mankind? <br /><br />SeanSean M. Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13973738112230622557noreply@blogger.com
