Summary:
What is the nature of the material world? What is the universe and how was it formed? Where do we come from and how did we evolve? What does it mean to be human? There are many different versions of our creation story. This book tells the version according to modern science. It is a unique account, starting at the Big Bang through to the formation of the first atoms, stars and galaxies. The evolution of life on Earth and the appearance of a conscious ape. The latest thinking in the sciences, from astrophysics to anthropology. While humans are very much a part of this world, we are not the reason for its existence.
