Big History: From the Big Bang to Us and the Future

Who are we? How did we get here? What does it all mean? After thousands of years trying, we can answer two of these big questions. Modern science has discovered a progressively factual account of the universe and ourselves. It spans some 13.7 billion years from the primordial flaring forth of the early universe to the rapid flaring forth of our global civilization. The story blends cosmology, physics, chemistry, geology, biology, anthropology, sociology, economics, and history into a single, compelling narrative. It encompasses all nations, all cultures, and all times.
