What is the origin of humanity? Why does a species like ours exist on planet Earth? Do we enjoy a privileged position, what is our destiny in the universe? Where are we headed? And perhaps the most difficult question of all: Why? In The Meaning of Human Existence, his most philosophical work to date, biologist Edward O. Wilson takes his readers on a journey to enjoy what makes us so special from other species, but also invites us to a humbling exercise that enables us to appreciate the fascination hidden in other species and the natural world. An author of immense prestige -he is the winner of two Pulitzer Prizes and has coined concepts such as biodiversity- and at the same time polemic, in his latest book he expounds his most profound theories about our existence, and builds a valuable bridge between the sciences and the humanities to create a treatise on human existence for the 21st century, from our most distant origins to a suggestive look at what the future holds for us.
