The Pliocene Exiles series, beginning with the Many Colored Land, is a favorite of mine. I first read it back in the 80s and still think of it quite often. It seems like this series is so often overlooked by people. I remember when I first read it, the beginning chapters turned me off a bit, so possibly people give up on the book too soon.

Novel premise (no pun intended) with superb execution.
