"At the beginning - but actually, it wasn't really a beginning, because there was no time yet - the whole universe was contained in a single tiny point …" This illustrated nonfiction book tells the story of the creation of the universe and the development of life on our planet. The story begins before the Big Bang, stretches across the various stages of evolution up to the present, and takes a glimpse into the uncertain future. Based on scientific findings and yet poetic in nature, Was wir über Leben auf der Erde wissen captures the magic and unique beauty that underlies all existence. We tell our children stories of apples and snakes, gods and monsters. But the creation story that science reveals to us is much more layered and incredible than anything we could ever imagine.
