The book that transforms our understanding of what we are and where we came from.

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 Hands's 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, Darwin's 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.

Industry Reviews

'Lucid and intelligible to the non-specialists... This is a book of astonishing ambition and scope.' The Times Literary Supplement Book of the Year

'An invaluable, encyclopedic achievement.' A N Wilson, The Times Literary Supplement Book of the Year

'John Hands... argues that mind and matter evolved in unison and, one day, human consciousness and the star-filled universe will be revealed as part of the same cosmic whole. Such ideas were lapped up by the 19th-century followers of Hegel and it is both shocking and invigorating to hear them stated again...in the context of a quantum universe.' Nicholas Blincoe, The Telegraph Best Science Books of 2015

'Ever-fascinating subject.' Observer Tech Monthly
