How ancient seas shape modern voting patterns and geological forces determined our evolution. "Origins" reveals Earth's hidden hand in human history, praised by Peter Frankopan as "sweeping" and "brilliant" - a Sunday Times bestseller that rivals Harari's "Sapiens" in explaining why we are who we are.

Look around at the cities, nations, and civilizations that define our modern world. Have you ever wondered why they exist where they do? Why Britain became a naval power rather than a land empire? Why certain regions became cradles of civilization while others remained sparsely populated? The answers lie not in human choices alone, but in the geological forces that shaped our planet long before we existed. Earth's biography became our history - from the tectonic forces that created the landscape of human evolution to the wind patterns that determined which European nations would dominate global exploration. We are products of our planet - our bodies made from its elements, our civilizations shaped by its contours, and our future bound to its systems.
