“...You will return to the ground from which you were taken, for dust you are and to dust you will return,” the Bible reminds. “It is,” agrees Neil Shubin, author of the best-selling book “Inner Fish” (2008; Russian translation, 2010), professor of biology at the University of Chicago and member of the US National Academy of Sciences. And he clarifies: man is related by blood not only to all living organisms, but also to the earth, to water and air, to our planet, to the Galaxy and the entire Universe. Our bodies are woven from “stardust” over billions of years of evolution. The author retells - literally on a cosmic scale - the history of humanity, which began at the moment of the Big Bang.
