It's no secret that humankind has come a long way since Homo sapiens first emerged from among our ape-like ancestors around 13O,OOO years ago. Yet despite all of our progress to date, many questions remain. What are we exactly? How do our brains really work? How have we achieved so much in the field of science, and where are we heading next? In this bookazine you'll journey from our early beginnings as a species, exploring how we came to be and how our immune systems, emotions and even fears develop. You'll then meet some of science’s greatest minds and discover for yourself how humans have created vaccines, illuminated the light spectrum and explained phenomena from ‘vampires’ to out-of-body experiences. Finally, you'll explore the power behind nuclear fusion and the endless possibilities offered by quantum mechanics before stepping into a future where many diseases are a thing of the past and cloning yourself could be more than just the stuff of science fiction.
