The origins of life, species, and humanity remain a topic of fascination and debate long after Darwin's landmark work. This exploration has two main objectives. First, Jiří A. Mejsnar highlights advances in cosmology, molecular biology, genetics, and other fields that have reshaped our understanding of our origins and our place in the universe. These scientific developments enable us to calculate the universe's age, the timeline of biblical figures, and reconsider the ancestry of Neanderthals and primates. The second goal is to challenge the conventional narrative of evolution. Mejsnar argues that evolution, as commonly understood, is implausible due to gene stability and the complexities of modern gene manipulation techniques, which make modified genes inaccessible to natural processes. He posits that the development of life on Earth is a discontinuous, saltatory progression, characterized by sudden appearances of new forms and genomes after latent periods. This perspective conflicts with the idea of continuous biological evolution driven by natural selection and random variations. By presenting intricate information in an accessible manner, Mejsnar encourages readers to engage in discussions about this contentious topic.
