Human Universe

Why are we here? Where did we come from? Are we alone? "Human Universe" tackles these profound, fundamental questions that mankind has asked since the dawn of consciousness. Accompanying the acclaimed BBC TV series, Professor Brian Cox and Andrew Cohen explore the extraordinary convergence of physics, chemistry, and biology that allowed a creature like us to emerge—a creature that can observe and wonder at its own existence. The book traces the journey of humanity from apemen looking up at the stars to a spacefaring civilization capable of exploring the cosmos. It blends beautiful imagery, cutting-edge science, and philosophical inquiry to show how rare, valuable, and miraculous human life and intelligence truly are in the vastness of the universe.
