Кристиан Дэвид: Origin Story : A Big History of Everything

What does it look like to study the whole of history, from the big bang through the present day—and even into the remote future? How does looking at the full span of time change the way we perceive the universe, Earth, and our very existence?

In Origin Story, David Christian takes readers on a wild ride through the entire 13.8 billion years we've come to know as "history." By focusing on defining events (thresholds), major trends, and profound questions about our origins, Christian exposes the hidden threads that tie everything together—from the creation of the planet to the advent of agriculture, nuclear war, and beyond. With stunning insights into the dawn of the universe, the beginning of life, the emergence of humans, and what the future might bring, Origin Story boldly reframes our place in the cosmos.
