«La Légende de la vie» is Albert Jacquard's popular science essay, published by Flammarion in paperback (348 pages, in French).
Does life have a beginning and can it be defined? Jacquard reconstructs the history of life as part of the history of the universe and contrasts what science, religion, mythology and art have said. He shows the passage from an initial uniformity to a growing complexity that culminates in the human being, now capable of deciding his own destiny.
The work was originally published in 1992; this French edition appeared in 1999 and belongs to the Champs collection of Flammarion.
For readers of philosophy and popular science interested in the origin of life and the place of the human being in the universe.
Albert Jacquard was a French geneticist, popularizer of science and essayist.
