And you did read it - while browsing the stacks at your local library. You didn't check it out, though - Just skimmed through it while standing there.

What a bizarre statement. What makes you think that you could know what I might or might not have read, whether browsing in library stacks or elsewhere?

Also, that does not seem to be the story in question. It doesn't involve the humans genetically changing themselves over generations, and, as you yourself point out, the ending is entirely different.

Take it easy! I was joking!
