All humans share three origins: the beginning of our individual lives, the appearance of life on Earth, and the formation of our planetary home. A distinctive voice in the growing field of astrobiology, Wallace Arthur combines embryological, evolutionary, and cosmological perspectives to tell the story of life on Earth and its potential to exist elsewhere in the universe. He guides the readers on a journey through the myriad events that started with the big bang that led to the universe we inhabit today and the prospects for humanity’s future on our precious planet. Life through Time and Space tackles the many riddles of our place and fate in the universe that have intrigued human beings since they first gazed in wonder at the nighttime sky.
