DISCOVER HOW LIFE REALLY WORKS - ON EARTH AND IN SPACE
We are unprepared for the greatest discovery of modern science - aliens. Scientists are confident that there is life across the universe, yet we have not moved beyond Hollywood stereotypes. The time has come to abandon our fixation on alien monsters and to look at the science.
Using his expert understanding of life on Earth and Darwin's theory of evolution Cambridge zoologist Dr Arik Kershenbaum explains what alien life must be like: how these creatures will move, socialise and communicate.
Might there be an alien planet with supersonic animals? Will aliens scream with fear, act honestly or have technology? Is the universe swarming with robots?
Dr Kershenbaum uses cutting-edge science to paint an entertaining and compelling picture of extra-terrestrial life. These are aliens - but not as you know them.
