Transcendence: How Humans Evolved through Fire, Language, Beauty, and Time

byGaia Vince

Transcendence brings Gaia Vince's attention to how humans evolved through fire, language, beauty, and time, treating the subject as a developing story rather than a settled conclusion. The argument in Transcendence develops through scientific research, fieldwork, and carefully chosen case studies, attending to both broad patterns and the revealing details that resist them. That perspective connects how humans evolved through fire, language, beauty, and time to larger questions in science, without losing sight of the people living through the consequences.
