The Bones Beneath Us is structured as a descent through time. Beginning in the present, it moves steadily back through Earth’s past to the earliest conditions that allowed life to emerge, reconstructing each stage through the physical evidence it left behind. Fossils, rock layers, chemical traces, and evolutionary transitions form the backbone of the narrative.

​

Across deep time, extinction and evolution reshape entire biospheres, setting the limits of what can exist next. Human history enters late in this account, treated as an unusual phase within a planet that has repeatedly dismantled its dominant forms of life, and governed by the same processes that shaped earlier worlds.

​

The book speaks to a present marked by uncertainty and informational overload, when planetary change is discussed constantly yet rarely understood in context. It is written for readers who recognise that the future is becoming harder to assume, and that understanding the trajectory of our species depends on forces far older than the world we recognise.
