Ancestor is a novel by Scott Sigler, revolving around a genetic engineering project by the Genada Corporation. A small circle of scientists is attempting to solve the problem of xenotransplantation; the viable transplantation of organs from animal to human, by trying to re-engineer an ancestor of modern mammals. A project with similar goals (albeit vastly different methods), goes haywire and has to be destroyed by elements of the U.S. Army. The G8 responds by attempting to shut down xenotransplantation research.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The heads of the Genada Corporation, the Paglione brothers, pack up their project to a secluded island called Black Manitou. However, as the project continues to unravel, one of them plans to tie up loose ends. If that wasn't enough, the "ancestors" are born... and they are hungry.Like Sigler's other works, Ancestor was first a podcast before being committed to print.

Fetus Terrible: The embryonic ancestors were implanted in cows as twins or triplets before murdering their siblings in-utero. Some time later, they tear their way out of their mothers.
