Conditionally Human is set in a future where the crisis of overpopulation has caused the implimentation of rigid controls on procreation based on genetic screening. To satisfy the parental instinct in those who were not permited children, a device named the evolvotron was invented. Through genetic manipulation, animals were modified to possess a limited intelligence, verbal abilities, and the appearance of a young child. These altered creatures were all the same sex with their physical development arrested at young age.
