Summary

It is a revolutionary, indeed heretical, book. A book about bacteria and life, a book about science but fictionalized and with some humorous jokes, easy to read and understand and requires no acquired scientific knowledge. The essay is divided into three parts In the first part, the author offers you a fantastic journey through the history of life, where dialogues develop with a Bacterium about the origin of life and with Acritarchus, a eukaryote, about their origin. It continues with Pikaia, who reveals a new view of being an animal and with Purgatorius representing mammals and finally with Darwin on natural selection at the dawn of the new millennium. The second part highlights the latest findings on the incredible capabilities of bacteria. In the third part, after a brief return to the past, starting from Brandon Carter's anthropic principle and Hoimar von Dirtfurth's suggestion: us perhaps "as a link to a non-biological offspring of a whole other species," an ideal purpose of life on Earth in relation to the Cosmos and whether there is life in our Galaxy is described. Finally, Darwin and the author develop a dialogue about the evolution of Sapiens in this period of great technological transformation and our attitude toward new technologies.

    "My granny is taking me on THE WALK. “Because leaders are not born,” she says. “They’re made through molding and modeling.” “What’s the walk?” I ask. “You’ll see. And there’s a few treasured souls coming too.” Granny and her granddaughter are going on a walk. But this is not just any walk. It’s a walk that must not be missed, one that is more important than ever but has been made increasingly difficult for many to participate in. It’s a walk that joins together a community, that lifts voices, that allows us to speak up, stand up, and say what’s on our minds. It’s a walk for hope. Where are all these treasured souls going? Just walk on and find out."
