All inhuman life is here

In his book Alpha, German illustrator Jens Harder embarks on the modest task of squeezing 14 billion years of history into one graphic novel. In this life-affirming compendium of images and ideas, Harder tells the story of evolution from the Big Bang through to genesis of life on Earth and right up to the start of human history. Alpha is a mind-boggling, meticulous, graphic masterpiece.
