Story
The distinction between the Hindus and Untouchables in its original form, before the advent of Untouchability, was the distinction between Tribesmen and Broken Men from alien Tribes. It is the Broken Men who subsequently came to be treated as Untouchables. In searching for the origin of Untouchability care must be taken to distinguish the Untouchables from the Impure. All orthodox Hindu writers have identified the Impure with the Untouchables. This is an error. Untouchables are distinct from the Impure.

Story
Richard Dawkins' brilliant reformulation of the theory of natural selection has the rare distinction of having provoked as much excitement and interest outside the scientific community as within it. His theories have helped change the whole nature of the study of social biology, and have forced thousands to rethink their beliefs about life.

Featuring a special introduction written for the audiobook edition and read by the author
A Radio 4 Book Club Selection.
A Short History of Nearly Everything is Bill Bryson's fascinating and humorous quest to understand everything that has happened from the Big Bang to the rise of civilization. He takes subjects that normally bore the pants off most of us, like geology, chemistry, and particle physics, and aims to render them comprehensible to people who have never thought they could be interested in science. In the company of some extraordinary scientists, Bill Bryson reveals the world in a way most of us have never seen it before.

With immense gratitude .....
I am really grateful first for being part of human specie and second for having fellow humans to create such masterpiece of information about the origin of the universe and the life itself . But for these explorers , researchers , scientists , historians and above all humans with proverbial heart and conscience , an ordinary soul like me would not have got the glimpse of so many things that form part of our existence . Perhaps , I hope to read this book many times over till my end to nurture my feelings of gratitude and marvel at the whole thing called earth's history including that of species on it .
Thank you author and the reader

Very apt title and nice collection
The book briefly covers the evolution of our understanding in various subjects like anthropology to physics, geology to genetics, etc. nice book to listen in audio format. At someplaces, i missed to connect with the author, but i believe that is due to my lack of understanding or the eagerness to finish the book. I will surely listen to it again.

A really good audiobook
A fascinating and informative book about the history of science. I wondered how the author was going to fit in the world history, the civilizations, the world wars and every thing else in a book, hence the title "A Short History of Nearly Everything". So.. It's an interesting book that covers the history of science from the beginning of time or rather the beginning of the earth and encompasses a bit of geology, evolution, some astrophysics and other related fields. This book is perfect for those who are curious to know how our world came to be but does not want to be weighed down by tomes of details.
