A History of Life

Understanding the origin and functioning of cells is discovering the unity of life on Earth. A fascinating journey through time and the infinitely small!

Everything that lives on Earth, from bacteria to trees and humans, is made up of cells that all originate from a common ancestral cell: LUCA (Last Universal Common Ancestor).

Understanding how this first cell appeared billions of years ago and then evolved to form all ancient and current organisms is a dive into the very heart of life. Passionate about cells, embryos, and plankton, to which he has devoted his life as a researcher and artist, Christian Sardet, in the simplest and most picturesque way possible, tells us how cells function and communicate and what we know about them today.

This book contains 200 original illustrations and drawings.
