Summary "Genesis" by H. Beam Piper is a science fiction novelet written during the early 1950s. The story unfolds aboard a spaceship carrying colonists to a new planet, Tareesh, as they seek to establish a new life. It explores themes of survival, evolution, and the resilience of humanity in the face of unforeseen challenges. The plot centers on Colonel Kalvar Dard and a group of colonists who, after a disastrous meteor strike, find themselves stranded on an alien planet following the destruction of their spaceship. As they struggle to adapt to their harsh new environment, Dard and the surviving women face not only the challenges of survival but also threats from primitive, human-like creatures known as the Hairy People. As the years pass, the group grows and evolves, facing internal struggles and external dangers. Dard’s legacy becomes one of hope and perseverance as he navigates the complexities of leading this new society, striving to cultivate a future despite the daunting challenges they encounter in their new world. Ultimately, the story speaks to the tenacity of human spirit and the survival of an evolving race. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
