A sweeping tour of the universe, a tour with 28 stops, each one highlighting a particularly important moment of emergence--the emergence of the stars, the birth of the elements, the periodic table, and the appearance of solar systems and planets, the emergence of living cells, animals, vertebrates, reptiles, and mammals, leading to the great apes and the appearance of humanity. He also examines tool making, the evolution of language, the invention of agriculture and technology, and the birth of cities.
