Humanology

A Scientist's Guide to our Amazing Existence

By: Luke O’Neill

Narrated by: Ruairi Conaghan

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.

Critic reviews

‘A man who can explain 4.2 billion years of life on Earth and make me laugh at the same time – sheer genius.’ (Pat Kenny, Newstalk)

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

Overall a good book

A lot of the information is very basic, but it's worth listening in order to make your general knowledge of humankind more whole.
