FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Cosmosapiens takes us on a quest to ascertain what science can reliably tell us about how and why we evolved from the origin of the universe and whether what we are makes us different from all other animals.John Handss extraordinarily 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. From examining theories such as the Big Bang, Darwins theory of evolution, dark matter and the selfish gene, John Hands challenges what we think we know, asking: are some theories of scientific dogma actually correct?This groundbreaking book is destined to become a classic of scientific thinking.
