From one of our own finest & most popular science writers, the best-selling author of Your Inner Fish, comes the response to a scientific secret story as big as the entire world itself: How have astronomical occurrences that occurred millions of years ago created the initial qualities of the real human varieties? In his last booklet, Neil Shubin delved into the amazing contacts between human anatomy - our hands, our jaws - and the structures in the seafood that first took over land 375 million years ago. Now, with his trademark quality and exuberance, he will take an even more expansive approach to the question of why we are the way we could. Starting once again with fossils, Shubin transforms his gaze skyward. He shows the way the entirety of the universe's 14-billion-year record can be seen in our bodies. From our very molecular structure (due to stellar occurrences at the foundation of our own solar system), he makes clear, through the working of our own eyes, the way the evolution of the cosmos has had profound effects on the introduction of human life on earth.
