About this listen
Cosmosapiens is a big-picture look at how human life emerged and evolved in the universe, incorporating the ideas of world-renowned experts from a wide range of intellectual disciplines.
Who are we, and how did we get here? These are two of the most fundamental and far-reaching questions facing scientists and cosmologists alike and have rested at the center of human intellectual endeavor since its beginning. They are questions that stretch across numerous disciplines. Philosophy, theology, evolutionary biology, and mathematics are just some of the fields looking to explain the emergence of human life. But with so many groups seeking answers using so many different methods, it can be nearly impossible to tell what sort of progress has been made without stepping back and looking at the whole interdisciplinary picture.
In Cosmosapiens, John Hands presents listeners with exactly such a synthesis, 10 years in the making and incorporating the ideas of world-renowned experts from wide array of fields. The book sifts the speculative from the firmly established, examining claims of all sorts, challenging the orthodox consensus in those branches of cosmology, biology, and neuroscience that have ossified into dogma. His striking analysis reveals underlying patterns of cooperation, complexification, and convergence that begin to tell the story of human emergence and consciousness. In the end, it will transform our understanding of what we are and how we evolved from the origin of the universe.

One book to balance the rest
I enjoy most books on science and new wave anything . However, I'm frustrated as the more I've learnt the more I feel I'm only being sold popular information and presented with very little explanation . Then, I read more. I began to cross reference . I found doubt, actual lies, assumptions and differences.
This book has really helped me out. Now I know I was on the right track.
What you will find here is a sort of representation of the journey of the would-be explored in a world of misinformation, elitism ,and downright charlatans .
It's scientifically sound .
It is really explorative.
Not afraid to show up misleading theories, scientists ,and conclusions.
Happy to give thought to the limits of knowledge and what goes wrong when others proclaim truth and conclusions as fact that is way beyond the material.
The book is meaty in places.
Easy throughout.
Well structured.
Above all interesting and sometimes biting.
A great service to all truth searches coming at this vast and complex subject with the fascination of a child but the education of the soul

An amazing book
Incredibly comprehensive and well argued evaluation of current scientific paradigms backed up with deep analysis of current literature and peer reviewed by leading scientists. A must read book!

Boring
I was hoping for a surprising and insightful history comparable to Sapiens, but this is more a dry enumeration of science and pseudoscience without intriguing at any moment in time. I found myself often skipping a chapter, checking if the next one would be better. After a few, I skipped the entire first part. When part 2 didn't get better, I dropped the entire book.

you need the 'bonus' materials
Any additional comments?
The absence of the 'bonus materials' - charts, tables and illustrations, makes the book unnecessarily difficult to follow - the continuing references to them is annoying cheap and insulting - don't waster your money
