The Earth Is Silent

Based on pure natural science deductions, this book slowly unfolds a silent epic of the earth along the evolutionary path of human survival and reproduction. From the African apes who were forced to walk upright and set foot in the wilderness, to the primitive awe of migrating across the water and seeing the ocean for the first time; from knocking the first stone and controlling the flame, to the awakening of Homo sapiens and the emergence of civilization, to later generations of humans sailing across the stars and immigrating to Mars. There are no alien creations or mysterious civilizations in the book, only material evolution, geological changes and the most authentic survival, temptation, fear and curiosity of life. The earth witnesses everything but never speaks; the ocean accommodates hundreds of millions of years of life and is always quiet and blue. Human beings shrank from the shore, step by step, became explorers looking back at their own origins, and finally understood: all the unknown and awe are because we are too small, and nature has long been eternal.
