What the physicists and the philosophers, the economists and the ecologists, the anthropologists and the animal behaviouralists, the religious historians, the neuroscientists and the biochemists are telling us by and large falls into place to provide a consistent story of the development of the universe and of humanity. Of course the story is not yet complete. There is much more yet to discover and understand, but the outlines are there in ample detail. \u003cbr\u003eThe dialogues provide background on the historical development of carefully selected scientific topics which are important to our understanding of ourselves and our surroundings.
