From "Evolution Annie", the title story of the collection:

Call me Annie, Evolution Annie. Some listen to my tale. Let me tell you the story of our beginnings ... When we first fell out of the trees, there was great consternation. "This is it," said Father, "This is a sign from above that we must embark upon a long and dangerous journey." "That's a good idea," Mother agreed. "Why don't you and the boys go off and do all that, and we'll sit here..." While the boys battled, Mother sat underneath a tree and taught us everything she knew..."

This story was published in Dale Spender (ed) Heroines. The book was set one year for the higher school certificate examination in West Australia, and students had a question about my story on their exam paper.

Evolution Annie made the long short list of the James Tiptree, Jr. Award in 1993.
