Have you ever wondered whether we are alone in the universe, or if
lifeforms on other planets might exist? If they do exist, how might
their languages have evolved? Could we ever understand them, and
indeed learn to communicate with them? This highly original,
thought-provoking book takes us on an electrifying journey over
billions of years, from the formation of galaxies and solar
systems, to the appearance of planets in the habitable zones of
their parent stars, and then to how biology and, ultimately, human
life arose on our own planet. It delves into how our brains and our
language developed, in order to explore the likelihood of
communication beyond Earth and whether it would evolve along
similar lines. In the process, fascinating insights from the fields
of astronomy, evolutionary biology, anthropology, neuroscience and
linguistics are uncovered, shedding new light on life as we know it
on Earth, and beyond.
