534 Sentiment, Inc by Poul Anderson

The way we feel about another person, or about objects, is often bound up in associations that have no direct connection with the person or object at all.

538 Genesis by H. Beam Piper

Was this ill-fated expedition the end of a proud, old race--or the beginning of a new one? There are strange gaps in our records of the past. We find traces of man-like things--but, suddenly, man appears, far too much developed to be the "next step" in a well-linked chain of evolutionary evidence. Perhaps something like the events of this story furnishes the answer to the riddle.
