Differences from Norwegian original

The main difference between this English version and the Norwegian original from 2021 is that the appendix consists of material which was previously at the end of chapters 3, 4, 6, and 7. 

The section titled “The Complex Complexity Argument” in chapter 6 has been completely rewritten and shortened. The section on “What Is Science?” at the end of chapter 5, the section “The Inexplicability of Evolutionary Transitions” in chapter 6, and “The Mystery of Language Evolution” in chapter 7 are all new, as is chapter 8, "The Perceived and the Real Conflict", which has been completely rewritten. 

There are, in addition, minor differences from the original in most chapters including some 9 new references to literature from 2021–2024.
