by Tim Coulson

Do you ever find yourself wondering how we came to exist?

Or how humans came to call planet Earth our home?

In this simple and uncomplicated guide, Oxford Professor Tim Coulson uncovers the history of the entire universe from the Big Bang to human existence taking readers of all backgrounds on a journey that covers physics, chemistry, biology, the evolution of consciousness, through to the rise of humanity. A 13.77-billion-year epic in the making, The Universal History of Us encapsulates for the general reader everything that he as a scientist has wanted to find out about life, the universe and everything in between.

According to Coulson, the mysteries of the universe and our existence in it have been revealed and pieced together throughout history by cunning, scientific sleuths. From dark matter to the evolution of genetic code, this book encompasses the transformative discoveries of numerous scientists, carefully bringing them together with clarity and humour to unpack what centuries of scientific discovery have taught us about who we are and where we came from.
