About this listen

It all started with a bang. Or did it? Opposites attract. But do they really?

We're only human. But for how much longer?

We'll all die one day. Or will we?

Taking us on an incredible journey across centuries and galaxies, accompanied by his characteristic wit, Professor Luke O'Neill explains how it all began, how it all will end and everything in between. Listeners will benefit from Luke's insatiable curiosity on this road trip through life and death.

Among many fascinating facts, you'll discover the science behind how we got to be so smart, why sex with a caveman was a good idea, the science of finding love, why we follow religions and how robots will become part of everyday life. Humanology is a humbling reminder that we're sitting on a small speck of earth in a big universe – so sit back and embrace the adventure.

'Narrator Ruairi Conaghan has unflappable charisma and dry wit to spare – he's that professor you wish you'd had in college.' (AudioFile)

Not just about humans but every life form. Science cannot lie and we don't like being lied to. This is the most fascinating information about pre during & (possible) after life. Narrator used humour and hard facts for a thoroughly enjoyable end entertaining  tale. it may offend or enhance the faith  of religious believers.
