A Short Story Of Everything - David Christian

The Joe Walker Podcast

CHAPTER

The Importance of Generalism in Human Society

This week, we talk with David Christian about his new book Origin Story. It's a popularization of the idea that you pioneered called big history. Big history frames our human story in the context of the history of the whole universe. And David traces a thread all the way through it from the Big Bang to today. We also discuss how he and Bill Gates co-founded this big history project.
