The only clue they have are his brother's book, which mentions \"the God Gene.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA million or so years ago, a gene designated hsa-mir-3998 appeared as if by magic from the junk DNA of the hominids who eventually evolved into \u003ci\u003eHomo sapiens\u003c\/i\u003e. It became a key player in brain development—specifically creativity—and laymen started calling it \"the God Gene.\"  Keith had been tracking this gene through the evolutionary tree, and was excited by an odd blue-eyed primate he brought back from East Africa. But immediately after running the creature's genetic code, he destroyed all the results and vanished.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRick and Laura's search takes them to an uncharted island in the Mozambique Channel, home of the dapis—blue-eyed primates whose DNA hides a world-shattering secret.
