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

Edinburgh International Book Festival

Discussion of the main ideas of COSMOSAPIENS by John Hands at the Edinburgh International Book Festival, chaired by James Runcie, 7:15pm – 8:15pm. For more details see here.

Despite big names like Alexander McCall Smith, Val McDermid, Mark Lawson, and Howard Jacobson appearing in different events at the same time, the event was a near sellout in the 325-seater venue. Although COSMOSAPIENS was by a huge margin by far the longest and most expensive book in the EIBF bookshop, the book-signing area ran out of copies within minutes.  The manager urgently asked the main EIBF bookshop to send over all their copies, but even these weren’t enough.
