The Plan That Fell from Heaven — Mary LaCroix

The Plan that Fell from Heaven is the account of a long ago time when a few men and women change the course of humankind. The Earth shifted, a continent was lost, but the Sons of the Law of One prevailed, changing the physiognomy of Man and leaving the Great Pyramid and the Sphinx to mark the way to the lost history of the human race. With the Earth's human population decimated, Ra Ta grasped the opportunity to cleanse the human race of the animal appendages they had borne for generations. Tek-Le-On, a half human, half animal Thing was coerced to participate in Ra Ta's genetic experiments. When her child was brought forth, an audible gasp carried across the room. It was a tiny scrap of life, faintly mewling, blind, jerking convulsively, grotesque and indescribable. Tek-Le-On looked at her first born without expression. She examined every inch of her, then finally said, looking directly at Ra Ta, "She is not human. She is not animal. She is just Thing."
