In each habitat, with its own special challenges & gifts, there are remarkable stories of individuals & communities living in extreme landscapes with wild animals, seizing opportunities & overcoming incredible obstacles to survive & thrive.

Based on the BBC Programme, Human Universe, Professor Brian Cox & Andrew Cohen present us with this study of the past, present & future of humanity. Brian Cox’s accessible approach has the ability to show how fascinating, intriguing & strange life & the Universe are. On the surface of a ball of rock falling around a nuclear fireball in the blackness of a vacuum the laws of nature conspired to create a naked ape that can look up at the stars & wonder where it came from. Where are we? Are we alone? Who are we? Why are we here? What is the future? These are the questions this book asks & seeks to answer. Our origins, our place in the universe & our possible destiny are all carefully considered in the light of the evidence put forward by past & present scientists & theories.
