| Summary: | 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?

This book provides a comprehensive account of current ideas such as cosmic inflation, dark energy, the selfish gene and neurogenetic determinism. |
