Until now, most of these questions were addressed by religion and philosophy. But science has reached a point where it, too, can voice an opinion. Beginning with the Big Bang roughly fifteen billion years ago, the authors trace the evolution of the cosmos, from the first particles, the atoms, the molecules, the development of cells, organisms, living creatures, up to the arrival of Homo erectus and Homo sapiens. Proactive, informative, free of technical or scientific jargon, Origins offers compelling insights into how the universe, life on Earth, and the human species began. 538 System requirements: Adobe Digital editions. 588 0 Print version record. 650 0 Scientists|vInterviews. 650 0 Evolution (Biology) 650 0 Human beings|xOrigin. 650 0 Cosmology. 650 7 SCIENCE / History.|2bisacsh 655 0 Electronic books. 700 1 Rosnay, Joël de. 700 1 Coppens, Yves. 700 1 Simonnet, Dominique. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aPlus belle histoire du monde.|tOrigins. |dNew York : Arcade Pub., c1998.|z155970408X|w(DLC) 97027830 914 frd00004798
