But archaeological and historical evidence challenges this narrative.

Before grammar, stories, or history, there was pointing. Grunting. Guesswork. And somehow, from that, we built language. This isn’t a textbook. It’s the story of how humans learned to name the world, how we stitched together meaning from noise, and how the system we invented ended up running us. From cave mouths to cuneiform, slang to syntax, sacred scripts to AI chatbots, this book tells the full arc of the original human software: invented, forgotten, rediscovered, and now automated. This Is a Rock doesn’t teach you how to talk. It shows you how we figured out that we could.

Science isn’t a subject — it’s a system. A way of seeing, testing, and making sense of everything. From ancient myths to AI-powered labs, Science 101 tells the story of how humans figured out how to figure things out. This isn’t about listing facts or memorizing disciplines — it’s about the evolution of the scientific mindset. How did we go from believing lightning was a god… to splitting atoms? How did we learn to measure, test, repeat, and doubt? And what happens when machines start doing the science for us?
