Author: Sophie Wenzel Ellis

Length: short story

First Publication: Astounding Stories of Super-Science (Analog), 1930

For in the pitilessly cold eyes of Adam, his super-human creation, Dr. Mundson saw only contempt—and annihilation—for the human race.” There really isn’t any actual genetic engineering, instead a “Life Ray” makes the changes.
