All living organisms on the planet today can trace their lineage back to a single cell somewhere in the primordial ocean – the Last Universal Common Ancestor – and that single animating spark has passed in unbroken sequence through each being for the last four billion years. However, soon, this will cease to be true. Scientists will create the conditions in which new life, a second spark, will ignite. It will be the beginning of a technological revolution that will dictate the shape of the 21st century. This is the astonishing story of our inevitable journey towards the second genesis. https://www.adamrutherford.com/talks daily 0.75 2022-10-07 https://www.adamrutherford.com/movies daily 0.75 2020-12-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc3babbab79f442f23b3f43/1606735705001-PGLP9T4JWY4QB3YS08RT/Annihil.jpg Movies https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc3babbab79f442f23b3f43/1606735731017-D1T1X3NDVOAZ9KYE4LBS/Exmach.jpg Movies https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc3babbab79f442f23b3f43/1606736222335-I9NBWIP63PFMSNYFDKR6/Biophilia.jpg Movies https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc3babbab79f442f23b3f43/1606735765546-EQEFOU024RPWFPEEZP07/Life.jpg Movies https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc3babbab79f442f23b3f43/1606735757063-M5SEZ8A1GZ5VMI1QGMGT/Morbius.jpg Movies https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc3babbab79f442f23b3f43/1606735767762-C8G9N20XJFMN5J8A5J7L/WWZ.jpg Movies https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc3babbab79f442f23b3f43/1606735766775-C8JOK10GXDI9IVARQKD2/Kingsmen.jpg Movies https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc3babbab79f442f23b3f43/1606868887021-QR4V9MQDSIJ4PTA4Z5WU/CITH.jpg Movies https://www.adamrutherford.com/briefhistory daily 0.75 2020-12-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc3babbab79f442f23b3f43/1606744034416-WKLCAKDW4JPD4NVM2AVE/Brief+History+cover.jpg A Brief History This is a story about you. It is the history of who you are and how you came to be. It is unique to you, as it is for every one of the 100 billion modern humans who has ever drawn breath. But it is also our collective story, because in each of our genomes we carry the history of our species. In this journey through the landscape of genetics, A Brief History explores what our genes now tell us about human history and what history tells us about our genes. From Neanderthals to Denisovans, from redheads to dead royals, murder to racism, evolution to epigenetics, A Brief History is a demystifying and illuminating new portrait of who we are and how we came to be. The US edition features a special introduction by Siddhartha Mukherjee. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc3babbab79f442f23b3f43/1606744477755-CCQE5K8OPRZO8FGY9GDW/ABH+USA+cover.jpg A Brief History https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc3babbab79f442f23b3f43/1606744915129-YREXQZ4F9VP4HBJKQZJK/ABH+Dutch.jpg A Brief History https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc3babbab79f442f23b3f43/1606744915812-LS8PJ7U9J5BO77VLJAXC/ABH+French.jpg A Brief History https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc3babbab79f442f23b3f43/1606744915824-JFVGJ0BYS9B7NE0URHQ2/ABH+Italy.jpg A Brief History https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc3babbab79f442f23b3f43/1606744941501-HL1IQBTK06C41SDIRNJS/ABH+Germann.jpg A Brief History https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc3babbab79f442f23b3f43/1606744952145-VDAEV8XAYKKZ98TQ82S7/ABH+Chinese.jpg A Brief History https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc3babbab79f442f23b3f43/1606744951955-J9QDI1OCI3YO0YFCEC1K/ABH+Polish.jpg A Brief History https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc3babbab79f442f23b3f43/1606744966370-S6AP50ENM86JBMF8HRV8/ABH+Porto.jpg A Brief History https://www.adamrutherford.com/allbooks daily 0.75 2022-02-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc3babbab79f442f23b3f43/1645121007647-469LP6J3LD1INM3WYLI0/Control+cover.png All - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc3babbab79f442f23b3f43/1606665188000-W7YWTTZN403M9XUKB1IR/Book+of+Humans+cover.jpg All https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc3babbab79f442f23b3f43/1606664924109-IU9VD2KU3KPFPAJMWEAN/Screenshot+2020-11-29+at+15.46.26.png All https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc3babbab79f442f23b3f43/1606686525964-JEDSGBAASD0HHA650Z0H/ABH+USA+cover.jpg All https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc3babbab79f442f23b3f43/1606665231370-AQG55ZS8RG6FXP31EMFS/Brief+History+cover.jpg All https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc3babbab79f442f23b3f43/1606686567318-LQBE5TQPTTYI93FATT01/Creation%2Bcover.jpg All https://www.adamrutherford.com/home daily 0.75 2024-10-08 https://www.adamrutherford.com/race daily 0.75 2021-02-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc3babbab79f442f23b3f43/1606742315182-3VR8IYP7ZWDG0SWFJKLN/Screenshot%2B2020-11-29%2Bat%2B15.46.26.jpg Race Racist pseudoscience may be on the rise, but science is no ally to racists. Instead, science and history can be powerful allies against bigotry, granting us the clearest view of how people actually are, rather than how we judge them to be. HOW TO ARGUE WITH A RACIST dismantles outdated notions of race by illuminating what modern genetics can and can’t tell us about human difference. It is a vital manifesto for a twenty-first century understanding of human evolution and variation, and a timely weapon against the misuse of science to justify racism. The paperback and US edition feature a new introduction about race in the time of COVID19 and Black Lives Matters. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc3babbab79f442f23b3f43/1606744280255-O83U6DQXZUBML1XU185R/9781615196715.jpg Race US edition https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc3babbab79f442f23b3f43/1606761198738-HWDWRA4ZIA9E097F370S/054_KNS_02_2020_%5Brutherford%5D+jak+dyskutowac%CC%81+%5Bbs%5D.jpg Race https://www.adamrutherford.com/bookofhumans daily 0.75 2020-12-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc3babbab79f442f23b3f43/1606743871351-NIJIL5UXBD2WJKPWFL08/Book+of+Humans+cover.jpg The Book of Humans We think of ourselves as exceptional beings, but are we really any more special than other animals? This paradox - that our biology is indistinct from all life, yet we consider ourselves to be special - lies at the heart of who we are. The Book of Humans tells the story of how we became the creatures we are today: sex, emotions, violence, speech, tools and above all the unique ability to investigate what makes us who we are. Illuminated by the latest scientific discoveries, and illustrated by Alice Roberts, it is a thrilling compendium of what unequivocally fixes us as animals, and reveals how we are extraordinary among them. Released in the US as Humanimal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc3babbab79f442f23b3f43/1606745348046-YQ3MXW2Q0FLHSBRBLP18/BoH+US.jpg The Book of Humans https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc3babbab79f442f23b3f43/1606745194605-0LPQPRLMTI0KSQV4FDH4/BoH+Italian.jpg The Book of Humans https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc3babbab79f442f23b3f43/1606745207086-BV3QGIUGBRWFFNAVQNAK/BoH+Dutch.jpg The Book of Humans https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc3babbab79f442f23b3f43/1606745220363-SL87S7FN2MH8EMMLAC7P/BoH+Polish.jpg The Book of Humans https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc3babbab79f442f23b3f43/1606745227847-FZ5J7VTJSBJ23BWAXU7P/Boh+Brazil.jpg The Book of Humans https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc3babbab79f442f23b3f43/1606745236534-8RJJ2S412R79IM5WC6DI/Boh+German.jpg The Book of Humans https://www.adamrutherford.com/science daily 0.75 2023-01-25 https://www.adamrutherford.com/contact daily 0.75 2024-08-27 https://www.adamrutherford.com/eugenics daily 0.75 2022-02-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc3babbab79f442f23b3f43/1645121334341-2FG4MCU9QYDS29QYO9H2/Control+cover.png Control - Control The dark history and troubling present of eugenics https://www.adamrutherford.com/rutherford-and-fry daily 0.75 2021-03-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc3babbab79f442f23b3f43/1615220970302-VE889GWTGKN3I7EPCD1E/image.jpg Rutherford and Fry's Complete Guide - COMING SOON… Rutherford and Fry’s Complete Guide to Absolutely Everything* By Adam Rutherford and Hannah Fry *Abridged https://www.adamrutherford.com/home-1 daily 1.0 2025-06-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfa6e27cbb206000190cda7/1560018061726-4NAMH4RJ105SZAHLDXT1/image-asset.jpeg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfa6e27cbb206000190cda7/1560447935792-PAK3A9XLILAKTS6OIVIY/image-asset.jpeg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cfa6e27cbb206000190cda7/1560018111434-GQGJF3GXZP90MVOI3D3B/image-asset.jpeg Home
