This astounding account of humankind, from our beginnings in Africa seven million years ago through the life of Jesus to the present, blends history, anthropology, and spirituality to demonstrate that God has been and always will be with us.

In what may be his most anticipated book ever, the author of Quantum Theology turns to the story of human origins, unearthing the spiritual significance of the amazing discoveries scholars have made in the last 50 years, mostly in Africa and most famously in the Odulvai Gorge of Tanzania. O’Murchu invites Christians, and theologians in particular, to consider a more expansive understanding of Incarnation, and how humanity’s “deep past can empower us to embrace the profound challenges that face us today.”
