À propos de cet audio

From the big bang to the origin and evolution of intelligent life in a search for the meaning of human existence, Why Are We Here?, by author Bruce Brodie, offers a look at evolution and the future of life on the planet.

Through many years of research and study, Brodie addresses a host of questions:

  • How did chemistry come to life?
  • How did the release of oxygen by cyanobacteria change the natural history of life?
  • How did mass extinctions reset the clock and reshape the course of biological evolution?
  • Why are homo sapiens so dominant?
  • Why do humans build vast civilizations, while chimps, with whom we share more than 98 percent of our DNA, are confined to forests and experimental laboratories and zoos?
  • How will cultural and technological evolution, which have transcended the slow pace of biological evolution, shape the future of life on the planet?
  • Can we escape the many existential threats that hover over us?

Why Are We Here? offers a new perspective on how we think about the world, our place and our purpose in the universe, and the future of humanity. It presents a lasting sense of the amazing wonder and mystery of life.

Thoroughly enjoyed both the content and narration. The listener is taken on a journey from the very beginning of “life” to the ultimate and potential finale!

Entertaining and easily digestible
