How did time begin? What conditions led to humans evolving on Earth? Will we survive the Anthropocene? And is it really true that were all made from stars? The Shortest History of the World follows the continuum of historical change in the cosmos from the Big Bang, through the evolution of life, to human history. Combining knowledge from chemistry, biology and physics with insights from the social sciences and humanities, The Shortest History of the World takes a birds eye view of 13.8 billion years. In this compelling and revealing book, David Baker traces the rise of complexity in the cosmos, from the first atoms to the first life and then to humans and the things we have made. He shows us how simple clumps of hydrogen gas transformed into complex human societies. This approach Big History allows us to see beyond the chaos of human affairs to the overall trajectory. Finally, Baker looks at the dramatic and sudden changes were making to our planet and its biosphere and how history hints at what might come next.
