This is not the translation of a religious text. It is the original, and initial, translation of an extremely ancient text. This is not religious history but the natural history of our species—the story of humankind—answering essential questions about who we are and why we are as we are.

From the time that the ancient Hebrew scriptural text was taken from ancient scrolls into the Greek—some 2,200 years ago—no one, neither scholar nor cleric, has looked critically at the supposed translation until now. Albert Potts offers the first actual translation of the ancient text, in which each element of grammar and each root word have been accounted for. This is the story of our species’ actual, and alien, origin. It is our history—as clearly as it will ever be conveyed or spelled out.
