Are we really worthy of the qualifier sapiens? Science has allowed us to trace the history of the universe to its origin, but what it does not tell us is how the stellar dust that emerged from the Big Bang has ended up shaping creatures who believe that the meaning of their existence is having a state-of-the-art iPhone or buying a house in the middle. Centuries of scientific effort to try to understand the existential fact have not served to get us out of the pit of "I only know that I know nothing." What is the meaning of life? From time immemorial, we humans have been asking ourselves this question without finding any convincing answers. Maybe that's why fewer and fewer people are questioning him and more who are concentrating on his interest in knowing when the next season of his favorite series will be released. This book is an invitation to reconnect with questions that have been forgotten and to reflect on the farce to which, from an evolutionary perspective, we have reduced the existential fact. Through an entertaining and poetic text at times, which rigorously fuses scientific and spiritual visions with sparks of humor and irony, the authors invite us to reinterpret the path traced by stellar dust from the Big Bang to the present day. and they offer us a new, completely transgressive vision of who we are and the future we are heading towards.
