About The Book

How did we get from the Big Bang to today's staggering complexity, in which seven billion humans are connected into networks powerful enough to transform the planet? And why, in comparison, are our closest primate relatives reduced to near-extinction?

Big History creator David Christian gives the answers in a mind-expanding cosmological detective story told on the grandest possible scale. He traces how, during eight key thresholds, the right conditions have allowed new forms of complexity to arise, from stars to galaxies, Earth to homo sapiens, agriculture to fossil fuels. This last mega-innovation gave us an energy bonanza that brought huge benefits to mankind, yet also threatens to shake apart everything we have created.

This global origin story is one that we could only begin to tell recently, thanks to the underlying unity of modern knowledge. Panoramic in scope and thrillingly told, Origin Story reveals what we learn about human existence when we consider it from a universal scale.

Book Review

If you read one book this year, make it this one - Fareed Zakaria, CNN

A journey through billions of years that nails home the point: Life is a miracle ... [A] remarkably cogent and compelling history of everything -Washington Post

Rather like the Big Bang, the book is awe-inspiring. The processes it describes are all familiar, but I'd never seen them explained with such clarity and verve ... Superb -- Gerard Degroot -The Times

[Origin Story is] long-haul science with wit and oomph -Nature

Christian tells this story very well, providing, in effect, a short course in modern science. This is a brief history of the universe, and an excellent one -Wall Street Journal
