Evolutionary stories

Evolutionary Stories is a fictional science fiction novel consisting of five separate stories. The stories are linked to each other with evolution as their common theme. However, the novel cannot be accused of being too serious. By focusing on evolution, the novel inadvertently answers questions that interest us all. How seriously should we take extraterrestrial intelligence, given the level of intelligence on our own planet? Where do we come from, and are we actually going anywhere? What time is it really? Where did the chickens go? All these questions deserve to be taken as seriously as they should be.
