Children of the Sea
A Cosmology of Human OriginsBy Greg Jackson
Length3h 42m
About this audiobook
What if everything you were taught about human origins was incomplete?
For thousands of years, we have been told a story: that a single God created the first man from dust, and the first woman from his rib. That we are separate from nature, placed above animals, given dominion over the earth. That our origin is a mystery that can only be solved through faith and scripture.
But the evidence tells a different story.
Children of the Sea is a groundbreaking work that weaves together science, history, and spirituality to reveal a cosmology of human origins that is more astonishing than any myth. Drawing on genetics, oceanography, astronomy, and anthropology, this book traces our journey from the primordial ocean to the present moment—and invites us to remember who we truly are.
