Cosmosapiens : human evolution from the origin of the universe
Hands, John, 1945-2016
Book
Specialist scientific fields are developing at incredibly swift speeds, but what can they really tell us about how the universe began and how we humans evolved to play such a dominant role on Earth? John Hands's ambitious quest is to bring together this scientific knowledge and evaluate without bias or preconception all the theories and evidence about the origin and evolution of matter, life, consciousness, and humankind. This astonishing book provides the most comprehensive account yet of current ideas such as cosmic inflation, dark energy, the selfish gene, and neurogenetic determinism. It differentiates the firmly established from the speculative and examines the claims of various fields such as string theory to approach a unified theory of everything.
