In a compelling read for anyone interested in where we came from
and where we're going, Everybody's Story offers an exhilarating
tour of natural history that illuminates the evolution of matter,
life, and consciousness. As old myths, religious stories, and other
shared narratives of humankind are increasingly viewed as
intellectually implausible and morally irrelevant, they become less
likely to fulfill their original purpose -- to give people answers
and provide a sense of stability and peace in daily life. Loyal Rue
restores that imbalance with a new story based on fact. Rue, author
of a New York Times Notable Book of 1994, By the Grace of Guile:
The Role of Deception in Natural History and Human Affairs, now
provides an evolutionary tour recounting our shared "epic of
evolution".
