Description
This thought-provoking book takes us on a fascinating journey through billions of years, exploring how life arose on Earth and whether it could exist elsewhere in the universe. From the formation of galaxies to the emergence of human language, Hickey delves into the fields of astronomy, evolutionary biology, palaeoanthropology, neuroscience and linguistics to shed new light on life as we know it.
As we consider the possibility of communication with extraterrestrial life, fascinating insights are uncovered that challenge our understanding of how brains and language developed. This original book offers a unique perspective on the likelihood of life beyond Earth and whether its evolution would follow similar patterns.
