The idea of evolution is the most life-changing concept to have
emerged in modern times, but most people know of it only in
fragments. The evolution of the universe, of planet Earth, of life
and of human culture is a truly breathtaking story that can be told
in many ways. In one continuous story this book combines
cosmological and biological evolution with the subsequent
development of human thought made possible by the emergence of
language. Sir Lloyd shows that the commonly supposed conflict
between religion and science arises from a failure to appreciate
the role of what he calls the `human thought world'. The realm of
the gods, created by human imagination, was the ancients' way of
understanding nature. For them it was both their science and their
religion. By sketching the history of `God', Lloyd shows that the
centrality of this idea provided an essential premise for the
emergence of empirical science. This has enabled the human species
to dominate planet Earth and usurp roles once attributed to God.
The story of evolution helps us understand the past - but the
future of the human race now rests on our shoulders.
