	Peter S. Alterman- Aliens in Golding's The Inheritors
		Thus, the central concern of The Inheritors, introduced early, is an examination of two themes formerly considered the domain of pulp science fiction: the alien and telepathy, which together Golding uses to develop his observers.
		In his second novel, The Inheritors (1955), William Golding writes of Neanderthal man. This novel, taking off from Wells's "The Grisly Folk," makes use of science-fiction concepts.
		Whatever the reason, the science-fiction alien creature is the heart of the novel, and Golding& adaptations of that tool for ironic and didactic purposes is unique within the genre of science fiction.

	Breunig, William Golding and the State of Nature
		Like with his first novel, Golding used and considerably modified another text as a basis of The Inheritors.
		The question as to who 'the inheritors' of the novel's title are may be answered by saying that the reader, themselves organized in society, belongs to the inheritors.
		In The Inheritors, however, the thoughts of a group of Neandertal men are projected in a fictitious picture in the imagination.

		William Golding's 'Pincher Martin' veers from his other survival narratives such as 'Lord of the Flies' and 'The Inheritors.'

	Brian Stableford: Origin of Man (article in the Encyclopedia of Science Fiction)
		a prehistoric Golden Age is displayed in William Golding's The Inheritors (1955), though Golding follows Wright rather than Mitchell in refusing to grant innocence to Man's direct ancestors, and presents a more brutal view of prehistoric life in "Clonk Clonk" (1971).
		Although Hugo Gernsback reprinted Wells's "A Story of the Stone Age", genre sf did not really take prehistoric fantasy aboard, with notable exceptions including Lester Del Rey's "When Day is Done" (1939), Jack Williamson's "The Greatest Invention" (1951), Chad Oliver's juvenile Mists of Dawn (1952) and Theodore L. Thomas's "The Doctor" (1967).
		Disraeli was on the side of the angels, but science and serious speculative fiction were not; their main interest was in how Man had ceased to be a brute beast and become human.

	Breunig, William Golding and the State of Nature
		The image of the state of nature is not 'matter of fact' but a picture in the imagination (even though amongst critics there was an early tendency to take Golding's narrative as historical).
		For the present purpose it is mainly The Inheritors that will be consulted.
		But to both Golding and Rousseau it is possible even in the state of civilization to grieve for that original state which seems so utterly out of reach for civilized man, so that civilized thought may not be corrupt throughout.
