About the book

Shortest History of the World by David Baker is a history book for adult readers.

How did time begin? What conditions led to humans evolving on Earth? Will we survive the Anthropocene? And is it really true that we're all made from stars? The Shortest History of the World follows the continuum of historical change in the cosmos - from the Big Bang, through the evolution of life, to human history.

Combining knowledge from chemistry, biology and physics with insights from the social sciences and humanities. In this compelling and revealing book, David Baker traces the rise of complexity in the cosmos, from the first atoms to the first life and then to humans and the things we have made.
