In a surprising turn of events, science has recently made
profound new discoveries about our deep history, making it
possible for the first time to construct a new kind of
creation story. Since about 1990, spectacular advances in
paleoanthropology, molecular genetics, and astrophysics have
answered some of the most fundamental questions about our
origins. A new field of study has now emerged that takes
the search for our origins all the way back to the birth of
the universe nearly 14 billion years ago, and weaves a
fairly continuous account of an unfolding universe that gave
rise to life on our planet and eventually humanity. Journey to Civilization: The Science of How We Got Here
reveals this new story that is based on the evidence and
skepticism of science. It explores and explains the science
itself, from the physics of stars and the formation of rocky
planets, to the evolution of life and the epic journey of
humans out of Africa to cover the Earth. Journey to
Civilization is written for the non-scientist in clear,
straight-forward language, and is richly illustrated with
diagrams, charts, and beautiful color graphics and
photographs. There has never before been one creation story that was
shared by all the people of the world. Today, however,
nearly all of humanity shares the methods and products of
science. Science has become a universal language across all
cultures; and thus the new creation story produced by
science is the story of all the people of the world. It is
the common ground upon which we all stand. Journey to Civilization will change your understanding of
science, and it will change your view of humanity and our
place in the universe.
