COSMOSAPIENS Human Evolution from the Origin of the Universe

This book is an ambitious undertaking. In audio format, it's tough to digest, even with the capable narrator Gildart Jackson. Author John Hands set out to provide a comprehensive review of all the theories relating to cosmology, evolution, and consciousness. The theories, which vary in complexity, are presented in short snippets by the British-accented Jackson, making frequent references to other sections of the book by number and to the bonus material PDF containing diagrams and charts. This text requires sustained attention to understand the complex concepts and absorb the many details. Listeners must also commit to reviewing the bonus material and to jumping to the referenced sections in order to fully comprehend the concepts. Readers may be better off sticking to the print version. S.E.G. © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2016]
