Guest on the US WebTalkRadio series “Conversations Beyond Science and Religion”. Host Phillip Comella says of the talk “This is one of my best shows and I thank John Hands for not only writing the book [#COSMOSAPIENS], but for having what I hope the listener will find to be a mind-opening conversation.” Available to listen to here.

10 years in the making, this tour de force is a critical examination of scientific theories and evidence – systematic observation or experiment – about the origin and evolution of matter, life, consciousness and humankind. As such, it could scarcely be more ambitious, but the result is a triumph of detailed conceptual analysis covering the fields of fundamental cosmology, physics, biology and the evolution of philosophical and religious ideas… At the end of this dense and closely argued treatise, one can only agree with Tim Crane, Knightsbridge professor of philosophy at Cambridge, that ‘[COSMOSAPIENS] is a truly exceptional piece of work.’
—David Lorimer, lead book review of 77 in Network Review: Journal of the Scientific and Medical Network
